Dufour, Cyprien, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 February 15

Dufour received Blanc's letter last night. He regrets that an article in the papers worried the friends of Sister Francis Regis, S.C. . No doubt it was the report about Poydras Asylum . The administrators of that establishment ask that their properties be exempt from all taxes, something not constitutional. Sister's petition has been very favorably received and Dufour is certain that he can bring the question to the end Blanc desires. :: V-5-m A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
