La Prairie, Leopold?, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 September 5

LaPrairie wrote to Oscar Dugué . The information which Blanc gives LaPrairie changes nothing about LaPrairie's request. He came to America for a matter which did not work out well; he wants to begin teaching. He obtained a classical education and a course in law in France, so he can teach French and several other subjects. His law and accounting studies would enable him to be treasurer of an institution. Blanc's recommendation would obviate producing documents from important people in France. Since the requests are submitted to a council of the administration. Dugué's opinion and Blanc's will have great weight. He asks Blanc to write to the committee members and to Valcour Aimé if Blanc thinks Aimé has influence. LaPrairie has just seen Mr. Bonnecaze who sends respects. :: VI-2-b A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
