Audran, Father Ernest, Jeffersonville, Clark County, Indiana, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1868 December 17
Scope and Contents
Audran asks that McMaster send the Journal in the future to Jeffersonville. He is no longer Pastor of the Cathedral of Vincennes. After more than 22 years of hard and faithful service, without one reproach on his character or one complaint against him, he has been sent to this Parish. The reason is that Bishop Maurice de St. Palais, in a fit of unjust jealousy, because he wrongly thinks that the people of Vincennes have more regard for the writer than for the Bishop, tells him that in the future he wants to fulfil the functions of pastor of his own Cathedral himself, personally, and as it could not be so long as the writer was in Vincennes, he was forced to go. He has left without telling anybody. He asks McMaster to keep this information to himself. It will help enlighten him a little on the arbitrary doings of some of our good Bishops and on the apropos of McMaster's recent articles on this subject. Again, he asks that this be kept secret by McMaster. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
