DuBourg, Louis William, Bishop of Louisiana, Paris, France, to Father Simon Gabriel Bruté, Baltimore, Maryland, 1817 April 22
Scope and Contents
Letter incomplete. His delay in going to his diocese has probably been wondered at and may have given scandal but he has followed in this the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda and Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget. They just lost Father Nicholas Parage. Bruté's friends there ask him to send their greetings to him to their confreres in Baltimore and Emmitsburgh., P.S. He recommends particularly Mrs. Baker, the bearer of this letter. She is an American who has become an excellent Catholic with her husband and family and desires to meet the priests at the seminary. DuBourg is much indebted to her for attentions at Montpelier. Her husband has been consul at Barcelona and Bordeaux. :: II-3-n A.L.S. Incomplete French 3pp. 4to. and 16mo., 3
