Grignon, Father Mathurin F., Natchez, Mississippi, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1857 January 20

Grignon received Blanc's letter of the 8th about Emma Marcilly and Rose-hill . Grignon is glad she has left those sundry articles; he will see what he can get for the old pianos. If he can get $600 for the rent of Rose-hill, he will pay part of the basement. He hopes Blanc will approve if he pays an old debt of Father John Andrew Fierabras ' to John B. Quegles . The amount is under $100. Quegles thought of writing to Blanc to present the amounts advanced to Father Francis Rene Pont during Grignon's absence last summer. But Grignon thinks the amounts were for the house and that he had better pay them; it amounts to about $135. Nothing new at Natchez; it is very cold. Father Jean Honoré Dubernard is well. Grignon's letter of faculties has no numerical limitation on dispensations for marriages. But a letter of February 4, 1856 gives the number of cases in which Grignon may dispense. If Blanc thinks it apropos, Grignon asks him to add to those Grignon has left. :: VI-1-l A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
