Mégret, Father Anthony Désiré, Vermillionville, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1851 January 19

He received Blanc letter of the 12th yesterday. He thought he should find out Father F. Le Grand 's dispositions before going to see him. Mégret sent Legrand this morning, by a servant, the letter Blanc entrusted to him, acceompanied by one from Mégret himself written as a friendly confrere. Legrand replied in a most satisfactory way, asking Mégret to come to see him tomorrow or Tuesday. Mrs. Zenon received a letter today from Mother Théèse saying that classes would not resume until February 12. This is another mishap for the house; a publicly announced day should not be postponed. P.S. On Wednesday they began putting up the framework of their extension; they finished on Thursday. Mégret heard yesterday that New Iberia was deserted; they die there without the sacraments or Church burial. Some one by the name of Cabrole performs the functions of a pastor. Where are the two priests of St. Martinville? New Iberia seems to want Father Louis Rocoffort, S.J. for a pastor. :: VI-1-a A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to.
