Lévèque, R.S.C.J., Madame Louisa, Grand Coteau, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 December 3

Their Mother, still being ill with a cold, has asked Lévèque to be her secretary today. The health of Father Julien Priour afflicts them greatly. Just now they have only enough people necessary for one foundation and for the houses already established. Mother leaves the choice of New Iberia or Baton Rouge to Blanc. Having given her word to Priour, she prefers that Blanc decide. In case he decides for the latter, they could not go until the beginning of February. Their little family is growing; they have 85 children. :: V-5-n A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
