Bogaerts, Father C.L., Rillaer, Belgium, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1867 March 2

He writes in regard to his brother, whose departure caused him so much sorrow but whose good deeds for religion have consoled them completely. He assured them on leaving for America that he would come to see them in 6 years. They agreed but now some important family affairs must be settled in which his presence is necessary. They would like to see him at the beginning of this summer. He signs as the brother of Father J.B. Bogaerts, missionary at Gretna. :: VI-2-m A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
