Jan, Father Ange Marie Felix, Mur-de-Bretagne, France, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 October 22

Jan received Blanc's letter at the end of April. He was very ill and put off his reply, although he had assured Father J.M. Bonniot of his intention to write, until he saw how his medicine would work. He is not yet entirely recovered but he will leave on the 28th of this month for New Orleans. He is late getting started on his apostolic life. Another reason for haste is the turn of events in France. P.S. Bonniot gave him several commissions; he has done them and will bring them with him. Since Bonniot left New Orleans, Jan has lost track of him. :: V-5-n A.L.S. Envelope French 5pp. 16mo.
