Chalon, Father Gabriel, Mobile, Alabama, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1857 March 12

Chalon yesterday read Blanc's letter and informed the Bishop who said that he had no objection to Thomas L. Nichols giving some lectures at Mobile but that he would not assume any responsibility for him. In this season people would rather go to a lecture than a party. About 2 months ago, people asked if Nichols would come here; the sensation he made at New Orleans has had some reverberations here and perhaps it would not be bad for him to come, armed with letters of introduction for some lay people of Mobile, Mr. Le Baron, Dorrance, John? Murrell, etc. :: VI-1-l A.L.S. French 1p. 12mo.
