Cauvin, Father D. Andre, Natchitoches, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 January 3

This morning Bishop Auguste Marie Martin told Cauvin that if he had any plans he should postpone them for two weeks as Martin would have to be in New Orleans for the meeting of the bishops of the province. Cauvin replied that he planned to visit the missions of the west of the diocese of Natchitoches to where the new church is being built, which will take about a week and he had planned to go to New Orleans afterwards. Martin said he must wait until Martin's return about the 22nd or 23rd. Cauvin consented to Martin's request. As Cauvin has belonged to Blanc since December 29, he asks Blanc to give him these few days. :: VI-2-a A.L.S. French 2pp. 16mo.
