Doyle, Father A., Biloxi, Mississippi, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1851 July 18

They arrived here on the day of his departure from the city. Dr. Flaget Dr. Faget ? was on board with him. Doyle's health has improved; the swelling is gradually leaving his feet. He has been able to walk to church although it is some distance from his boarding house. He was very kindly received by the family to whom he was recommended. Doyle could recommend it to any priests coming down here. Father Angelo Mascaroni talked of coming. Father Nicholas? Petesch, C.SS.R . is not much improved. Father Symphorian Guinand is well; he asks Doyle to tell Blanc that he has but one chalice and if he takes it on the mission next week, Petesch and Doyle cannot say Mass. Doyle hopes Father Francis Xavier Brunet is better. Doyle has not gone bathing since he came down; he would like to know if Dr. DuBourg would permit him. :: VI-1-b A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
