Guinand, R.S.C.J., Mother Adine, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1856 August 5

The Capitol, because of their distribution of prizes, wishes to change their day for leaving New Orleans. They would like to take the children down on Monday. For fear Blanc is waiting for Sunday morning, Guinand informs him as they want him to be sure to be at their prizes. Father Henry Aubert did so much good for their pupils that they want Blanc to bring him with him. Some of the students do not want to have vacation come. Guinand has had only one letter from Mother Amélie Jouve, R.S.C.J. written from the Potawatomies . She suffered much on the trip but a week at Bishop John Baptist Miége 's restored her somewhat. On July 15 she counted on being at St. Joseph, from there to St. Charles and around August 15 at St. Louis. Guinand will do her best to dispose their negroes to receive Confirmation. :: VI-1-k A.L.S.
