Chavaete, Father P.S., Woumen, Belgium, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1856 September 22

Chavaete wrote last April or May that probably this year he would not need money because a Sister at the hospice counted on receiving a certain sum from her family which he could use. But it was not realized and so Chavaete asks for an even greater amount than last year. A short time ago he acquired land enough so that each year their harvests are sufficient. So he asks Blanc to send at least 5 or 6000 piastres including last year's revenue. He will need the funds around the new year. :: VI-1-k A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
