Choiselat Gallien, J., Paris, France, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1852 May 24

Blanc will recall that in 1847, he authorized Choiselat Gallien to draw on E. Bertrand, agent, what was coming to the heirs of Mrs. Leveque, née Ladirac and that Choiselat Gallien received for them in August 1847 a sum of 1901.44 which he sent to Father Stephen Rousselon on October 1 of the same year. He has just received a letter from Bertrand, of which he sends a copy: Bertrand received for the heirs of Mrs. Leveque of New Orleans, the part of the 12th and 13th installments accruing from the certificate fo liquidation. He is holding this sum of 350 francs, 65 centimes at Choiselat Gallien's disposal as the agent of the heirs. But as two of them, Augustine Leveque and Manette Josephine Leveque have reached their majority, the first on September 2, 1848 and the second on March 27, 1851, it will be necessary to ask these ladies for a letter approving the payment. So Choiselat Gallien asks Blanc or Father Rousselon to ask the heirs to send a letter of authorization. On the back of the letter in another hand: Evariste Lafitte du Prieux :: VI-1-c A.L.S.
