Guinand, R.S.C.J., Madame Adine, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1855 September 20

The Master has just taken Mother Annette Praz, R.S.C.J. . Sunday she felt the symptoms of fever. Guinand arrived between 2 and 3 the night of Tuesday-Wednesday and saw at once that there was no hope. Last week one of their coadjutor Sisters died at Baton Rouge; two other persons had the fever but are fine now. Mother Crescence Alschner, R.S.C.J. came until Guinand returns to her post. They are thinking of setting back the return of the pupils later than October 1 as they had first set it. Mother Louise de Barbarin, R.S.C.J. also wishes to write as Blanc knew about the death of Father Noir which leaves them deprived of spiritual aid. A.L.S. On the same paper:
