Mégret, Father Anthony Désiré, Vermillionville, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 November 4

Mégret has just married Dr. Jules Gouguet ? and Rosa Petit . Blanc knows about their scandalous living together for almost 4 years. Last week the doctor obtained a legal divorce. He came to Mégret and assured him that he had been married only by the mayor, in France, at his first marriage and not in the Church. He asked Mégret to bless his second marriage. They both prepared by going to confession and the doctor publicly asserted that he had not been married in the Church at his first marriage. Mégret's church is all enclosed?; tomorrow they begin the extension. :: V-5-n A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
