Lamy, John B., Bishop Of Sante Fe, Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1869 February 3

Lamy ordained two of his deacons, Francis Lestra, and Stephen Parisis . During the past year, the following deacons were ordained: Louis Bourolier, John Brun, Clement Peyron, Antonio Fourchaign, and Eugene Novert . Father D.M. Gasparri, S.J ., has been giving a mission in the Parish of Taos where the unfortunate Father Antonio Jose Martinez was responsible for a schism which lasted until the latter's death July 28, 1867, a total of seven years. Most of the people are coming back to obedience and the mission will leave very few remains of that sad event. The Sisters of Charity are all well. He asks to be remembered to Rev. Edward Purcell and to Father William Cheymol. :: II-5-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo. 11
