Bruyère, Father John M., Louisville, Kentucky, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1857 November 8

He profits of the departure of Mr. Charles J.? Maugin to write; he adds his recommendations to those already received concerning Maugin. Maugin has resided about two months here or in Portland; he bids fair to be one day a good clergyman and missionary. When Bishop Martin John Spalding came back from Arkansas he thought himself entirely cured; he is now suffering again of his old complaint, soreness of throat. The cathedral is in "status quo"; the plastering is progressing slowly. If it is in Bruyère's power he intends to enjoy a southern trip this winter. P.S. He presents Blanc with a small picture; the other one is for Father Rousselon no enclosures. :: VI-1-m A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
