Delahoussaye, S., Franklin, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 October 30

Delahoussaye has been asked by his mother, Mrs. Ursin Perret and other Catholic ladies to write to Blanc. Several weeks ago when Father Nicholas Francais called on them in Blanc's name, he told them that Blanc would send them a new priest on condition that they collect a sum sufficient for all his needs. Steps were taken immediately, a room was rented and funds are available for his board. Francais said he had written to Blanc but had no reply. The church has no debts and as soon as the pastor comes they will build a presbytery which could be done in January. The ask Blanc to let them know his intentions.
