Chandy, Jean Baptiste, St. Bonnet-la-Chateau, France, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 March 31

Chandy's brother, Father Peter John Chandy, C.M. , who died 5 or 6 years ago was in May 1850, treasurer at St. Vincent College, Cape Girardeau. It became urgent for his family to settle the inheritance he left. In the absence of a will settlement is impossible. They have obtained Blanc's address from his father, persuaded that Blanc will give them the place and date of Father Chandy's death and whether he left a will. If the will exists, Blanc is to send it to the person most favored, if it is not Jean Baptiste. P.S. He has many needs to bring up his large family. If his deceased brother left anything in America, he would be happy to receive it. He suspects that the will would be in his favor. :: VI-1-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
