Scope and Contents Hackett has a letter of Blanc's to Bishop Michael Portier offering Hackett Alexandria or Covington with a wish that he would select the former. Two considerations prevent him from making a selection without again hearing from Blanc. He fears Portier has represented his knowledge of French in too favorable a light. Then Hackett might ask to change his location. If he did would Blanc give him an appointment in New Orleans? Portier well knows him from experience of ten years. He could not have...

Scope and Contents Blanc's letter addressed to Tuscaloosa was received. Hackett wished in all things to act according to the advice of Bishop Michael Portier and waited for a personal interview. Portier was unwilling to see him go and if Hackett would superintend a school here for one year he would then allow him to build another church in the southern part of Mobile. Therefore Hackett has consented to remain and must decline Blanc's kind offer of Alexandria and contingent offers. In consequence of building a...

He considers this priest as one of those especially destined for Blanc's diocese and...
