D'Héécourt, Victor A. Seminary of the Barrens, Missouri, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 November 5

Father Stephen Michael Vincent Ryan, C.M., the Superior of St. Mary of the Barrens Seminary, who is going to New Orleans offered to take this letter. Blanc must have received the letter D'Héécourt wrote in September. He said then that he was studying Latin, mathematics, and English; since then he has studied Greek and French. He likes it very much where he is. In the way of piety, their seminary cannot be surpassed. He asks for Blanc's prayers that he may persevere and become a devoted priest. He sends his respects to Father Rousselon. P.S. Mr. Guédry, their prefect, sends his respects. :: VI-2-b A.L.S. French 2pp. 4 to.
