Eulalie, S.S.J.B., Sister, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1856 September 19

As she has received no other news about the asylum, she believes they are once more deceived. They have an adversary here Father Stanislaus Buteux who annoys them while here and if they attempt to leave he tries to make their undertakings fail. They are leaving him Sisters to carry on his work. They Sisters of St. Joseph of Bourg came here when the others destined for him refused. He told someone that he did not want to encourage the Ladies of Providence to replace? them because he was convinced that the Sisters of Bourg would not succeed and the Ladies would. It is not true that they do not know English. If Blanc does not come to their aid Eulalie does not know what will happen. She owes it to her conscience to leave; it would be better to go from door to door than to be near this man who is happy in doing harm to them. Blanc is their only resource in this country. They would be happy to withdraw to any place Blanc could place them. :: VI-1-k A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
