Blanchet, Bishop Augustin Magloire Alexandre, Vancouver, Washington, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1871 April 11

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-1-o

Scope and Contents

Since McMaster is the defender of the weak and of justice Blanchet has no doubt he will publish the enclosed no enclosure letter soon. Blanchet has written two letters to Commissioner Ely Parker about their Indian missions to beg for Catholic agents on the reserves, one on January 27, the other on February 16. Neither has had a reply. Since Blanchet wishes the injustices to be known by everyone, he sends his letter addressed to the secretary to "several" papers, even non-Catholic, though unprejudiced, hoping their observations will attract the attention of the administration and lead them to render justice at last. His first letter to the Commissioner has just been published in their "Catholic Sentinel". The second will not be because they say it is to be found in the letter to the Secretary of the Interior C Delano . :: I-1-o A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
