Fox, R.S.C., Sister Mary Ann, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1856 July 12

She was overjoyed at the reception of Blanc's letter. She left her home, Grand Coteau, about three weeks ago; it was a sacrifice to leave the novitiate. But she is happy to help the Sisters here who are so few in number. Mother Annette Praz, R.S.C.J. was here, she always said that she would send for Fox as soon as she made her vows. She supposes that Blanc has heard of the death of her aunt after a half-hour sickness. Sister hopes that Blanc will come for the prizes in six weeks. They are sorry to have Father Henry Aubert leave. The Americans were overjoyed and thank Blanc for sending them a priest who speaks English. All the Ladies desired to be remembered to Blanc, particularly Mother Alschner, Miller, Hou?. Madame Georgina Freret, R.S.C.J. to whom Blanc gave the habit on his last visit desired to be remembered particularly. Mother Adine Guinand, R.S.C.J. is in hopes that Blanc will visit them. :: VI-1-k A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
