Gouesse, C.S.C. Father Francis, Montreal, Canada?, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1852 October 2

Since his letter of September 5 at the request of the Bishop of Kingston, Canada , they visited his seminary and college. After the requests he made to them, they concluded to refer it to the Motherhouse who will probably approve this new foundation. If so, Gouesse must again leave his post, not for Bengal as he told Blanc, but for this last place. He is leaving 8 or 900 penitents after being in their midst only 5 months. By a letter from Father Francis Cointet, C.S.C. dated September 11, Gouesse learned that his health is better. Recently they had a visit from the Bishops of Toronto and Kingston who are working to found Catholic schools in their dioceses. :: VI-1-d A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
