Doyle, Father A., Jackson, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1852 January 16

Doyle received both of Blanc's letters and answered them from Bayou Sara. Not having heard as he cannot make permanent regulations until he hears from Blanc. Doyle will take this mission by himself a there is more to be done than on the other mission. The priests would not have duty or support. A church can be erected there if Milliken's Bend will support a priest while doing so. They are only waiting for Blanc's arrival to make arrangements regarding the church lot. Doyle called a meeting last Sunday in Jackson and also on Tuesday. He has every hope of having a church built. Father Michael O'Reilly' s health is quite restored. :: VI-1-c A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
