Leger, Mr., New York, New York, to Bishop George Aloysius Carrell, Covington, Kentucky, 1856 March 20

Leger asks Carrell to tell a priest newly arrived in his diocese from France that he will have a visit from two of his fellow travelers on the L'Orage. One of them is Abbé Louis and he is to reassure them about a trunk belonging to one of them. Not being able to obtain a receipt for his trunk in Jersey, Leger, for lack of a porter, carried the trunk on his back to the steamer and on arriving in New York he took a cab to take it home not knowing where to send it. Leger is willing to send on the trunk direct to New Orleans by steamer or sailing vessel. Leger send his regards to Abbé Louis. He and his wife regret the troubles of his trip. On the back of this letter, Carrell writes that: he is sending this letter to Archbishop Anthony Blanc as it relates to a priest who left here for New Orleans a few days ago. Carrell wishes he could visit Blanc once more. :: VI-1-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
