Mégret, Father Anthony Désiré, Vermillionville, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 November 23

The work of his church prevents him from going to the retreat. He has not yet been able to settle Father Julien Priour 's debts. All Mégret's debtors can only pay in April and Judge Simon, who has Mégret's note, wants only money. Blanc once proposed buying Mégret's negress; she is an excèllent cook. He would send her at once and is sure she would be very happy at his house and in the city. He would give her for $600 and Blanc could pay Priour. Suzanne is not dear at that price; he has been offered more. :: V-5-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
