Grignon, Father Mathurin Francis, Natchez, Mississippi, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1856 February 8

Grignon received Blanc's last letter and the pastoral letter. He will distribute some copies to distant Catholics. As for Miss Emma Marcilly, Grignon does not think he can do anything better than to send with the certificate, a copy of that found in the account book, written by Bishop James Oliver Vandevelde in which everything seems clear. They are all well. A new Sister of Charity arrived from St. Louis, Sister Geraldine, S.C. . The asylum owed 11 or 1200 piastres in December. Thanks to friends of the orphans, they have paid most of the debts. There are still more and the $50 of Mrs. Morency comes at a good time. P.S. He plans to go to Port Gibson during the first part of next week. :: VI-1-j A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
