Hilliard, Father J., Chevaigné, Ile et Vilaine, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, Angers, France, 1880 August 1

Hilliard begs Perché not to forget him and to take care of the interest which fell due on July 1. The 6% interest on the 15,000 francs is the only resource of two persons who, because of Hilliard, placed all their confidence in Perché. He knows the failure to pay is not Perché's fault, but he can hope for nothing from the new administration of New Orleans . Since interest, he asks Perché to repay the 15,000 francs or whatever portion he can. Possibility he could use the services of Jules de Boursetty, who sent him the last interest, to do so.
