Ménard, Father Leonard, Alexandria, Louisiana, to Bishop Francis Xavier Leray, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1880 November 2
Item
Identifier: CANO VI-3-b
Scope and Contents
Ménard does not wish to put off the building of a chapel in Harrisonburg . He has received from Charles Newman, commission-merchant in New Orleans the promise of a lot and there is none more eligible, more desirable. As Henry Newman lives in the city, it would be better to have the act of donation made there; otherwise Ménard will with Leray's permission, buy the lot at a nominal price. In case Leray would prefer to attend to all this, he encloses Newman's letters. In a short while he will receive a chalice from Sicily Island. He asks for Father Jean Baptiste Avenard, permission to consecrate it. A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo. Enclosure:
