Chalon, Father Gabriel, Mobile, Alabama, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1853 November 16

As soon as Chalon got Blanc's letter he set about getting the death certificate. He could get it notarized only yesterday. The heirs owe him 4 and ½ piastres; the counsul's fee was 12 francs 50 and those of the secretariat, 2 piastres. Bishop Michael Portier on his way to Bishop Auguste Martin 's consecration, will bring Father Louis Dufour 's trunk. They have resumed their usual occupations, no more sick, it seems like a vacation. They are expecting Portier any day; Blanc will see him before they do. He will probably come back fat and strong. Chalon sends greetings to Father Rousselon. :: VI-1-f A.L.S. French 1p. 8vo.
