Carlioz, Dr., Oajaca, Mexico, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 December 23

His delay in answering Blanc's letter was due to his desire to announce the realization of his marriage. He had not yet received the necessary papers when a grave illness struck Mrs. Régulez . It is only with much difficulty that the illness has yielded, the lady's advanced age being an obstacle. Carlioz is ashamed of having waited so long to express his thanks for Blanc's letter, it was very pleasing to Mr. Régulez . As soon as the marriage takes place, Carlioz will let Blanc know. Blanc will not be surprised that Mr. Régulez wanted to gather all the information possible before giving his word and that of his only daughter. Mexico is in a great fever; a crisis is feared soon. Carlioz is very well and devoted to his profession. :: VI-1-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
