Boglioli, C.M., Father Charles, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1855 May 11

Boglioli has just received Blanc's letter with authority to bless the chapel at Bayou Boeuf . But he does not know that it can be done just now. They are only two in the parish because of the departure of Father Michael Calvo, C.M. whose absence will last a month to six weeks. Several days ago, Boglioli asked Father Anthony Andrieux, C.M. if the chapel was finished. He said yes, adding that it was roomy and spacious, adding that those whom Boglioli had appointed guardians had set themselves up as trustees and had told Father Joseph Demarchi, C.M. that if he wished to go there once or twice a month, they would pay his way and he could board now with one, now another. This, as Blanc knows, makes a priest lose influence. He lets Blanc know in order to prevent future detractions. It would seem more fitting for the one who is going to serve the chapel to bless it. :: VI-1-i A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
