Bonnaff , Father, New Orleans, Louisiana?, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 August 28

After the deplorable scene at Algiers, it is probable that Father Paul Gu rard will not stay there long. In return for all Bonnaff has done in the diocese for 27 months, Bonnaff asks that English not be an obstacle to his request. He understands it a little and a few days' practice would make him qualified. In the meantime, the Jesuits would come to his aid. Father Aloysius Curioz. S.J. has offened his services. A little later Bonnaff will need an assistant. If Blanc replies he is to address it to the convent rather than the Archbishop's house as he would like to keep it secret. The letter is forwarded to Lafayette. VI-1-o - A.L.S. - French - 2pp. - folio - 4
