Ménard, Father Charles M., Thibodaux, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1857 May 18

Ménard reminds Blanc that on Ménard's last visit Blanc promised to confirm here on Trinity Sunday. They also expect Blanc at Houma and St. Philomena's on the following days. They also rejoice that Blanc will celebrate Corpus Christi with them on June 11th. Ménard counts on confreres from New Orleans for the celebration. The magnificent canopy which they received today will add to the solemnity of the day. Work on the church at Lawrenceville will probably be finished in 6 weeks. All is going well. P.S. The Ste. Anne Street ferry connecting with the cars crosses at 7:30. :: VI-1-l A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
