Buard, P.A., Natchitoches, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1853 July 25

At the death of Joseph Rouguier Buard was named guardian of one of his half-sisters, daughter of old Rouquier by a second marriage. Now it is Buard's duty to place this child. She is 14 or 15 and has not yet made her First Communion. She cannot stay any longer with the Olivier 's. Buard wanted to put her at Sacred Heart here but they have more than the number allowed. Buard asks Blanc to ask for a place gratis for her with the Ursulines. :: VI-1-f A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
