Blanc, Archbishop Anthony, Plaquemines, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 May 18

Blanc has been here since day before yesterday. Father Peter Lucas has just brought the package Rousselon addressed to Lucas, dated the 10th. The note for $883.33 1/3; is, Blanc believes, the first of those which he agreed on last year with Michel Ogé to which the interest has been added. Blanc talked to Rousselon about it but does not know if it was put in the bank. To be safe, Blanc is joining here, a check for $600 which Rousselon can use according to his needs. Blanc will go to Iberville tomorrow. All goes well here and at West Baton Rouge. He will reply to Father Stephen Jules Foltier about the estate. It must be accepted; Blanc authorized what Rousselon did at Vermillion the first time, by a procuration. He does not know if it will still serve; Rousselon is to find out. If Mr. Simon is in town, he is to see him. If a new procuration is needed, Rousselon is to write Blanc at Donaldson where he will be for the Ascension and from where he will go to St. Michael the next day or day after. He will be in New Orleans the Monday after. He believes Rousselon had better arrange to go to Vermillion as soon as possible. He is to tell Octave? de Armas to ask Armand? Pitot to do what is necessary to ask the court for authorization to sell the house in question. :: VI-1-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
