Scope and Contents

Elder is obliged to write earlier than he intended about Father F. Pont . Father J. O'Connor is about to leave Vicksburg and Elder must send Father Francis Xavier Leray there and Pont to Jackson or directly to Vicksburg O'Connor will probably not return. Elder is sending someone to Vicksburg today with great reluctance; Elder may not keep him in the diocese. Elder accepts Blanc's suggestion about the blessing of the church. He hopes it will be at Pentecost. It seems that Blanc could obtain distinguished priests from France for the more dignified places, or so it seems to Father M.F. Grignon :: VI-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
