Blanc, Bishop Anthony, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father Matthew Bernard Anduze, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1842 August 29

Ste. Colombe Davis will tell Anduze that Blanc hesitated to send the things for Mass. Blanc gave Davis his reasons. Blanc says nothing of the real state of things and the disposition of spirit; Davis knows both better than Blanc. Anduze adds a footnote that H. Davis is General of the Brigade and Secretary of the trustees. The rest Blanc cannot write because Anduze does not regard his letters as addressed to him only. Anduze adds a footnote that he was forced to show the letter of August 17 which ordered him to send to the pastor all those who addressed themselves to him. The last one caused great harm. Blanc cannot understand how their future relations can be on the footing of mutual confidence so necessary between bishop and priest. Blanc cannot understand how Anduze could have any agreement to exercise his ministry among the trustees. He cannot offer any position to Anduze because he fears that he would not further? any offer made to him. Anduze inserts that this was before his letter of the 30th, that Blanc had decided that Anduze was no longer the preacher at the Cathedral. Copy French. Anduze's letter to Duplessis, which by its publication put so much blame on Anduze, could then be justified. This letter will change the one which follows, which is only a development of the two preceding ones.
