Anstaett has to have another half cask of white wine for Father John B. Bellaclas . He has written to Mr. Cavaroc and is sending the probable cost with James P. Nash . Father Joseph Quérat left Brest on February 15 and arrived at Vera Cruz on April 25. He left 6 Sisters of the Incarnate Word there, among them Sister Ste. Claire, V.I. . She is recovering but four died. Quérat had the yellow fever himself and had to stop at Bagdad. Father John Claude Neraz had to stop at Tampico with 6 others of the Sisters stricken with the fever. Only one arrived with Quérat at Brownsville; the eight others will arrive later. :: VI-2-l A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
