Buteux, Father Stanislaus, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1853 December 21

Buteux sends Brother Facile, F.S.C. 's letter which he received this morning and the reply Buteux wrote. If Blanc finds it fitting he is to mail it. The question in the letter comes down to that of the house; Buteux hopes his reply will clear it up. Blanc is to keep Facile's letter; Buteux will get it when he comes to New Orleans. He was much surprised that Blanc knew nothing of the establishment of the Brothers of the Christian Instruction until it was done. He believed Bishop John Joseph Chanche had talked to Blanc about it. Buteux thanks Blanc for all the trouble he has had in this affair. He will do whatever Blanc tells him to do. :: VI-1-f A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
