Chanche, Bishop John Joseph, Natchez, Mississippi, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 September 26
Scope and Contents
Chanche received Blanc's letter of the 9th just after he had received one from Father Stephen Rousselon announcing the death of Father Ferdinand Dominic Bach. This event and the circumstances in relation to Father Matthew Bernard Anduze are afflicting indeed. Chanche would never tolerate Anduze in New Orleans even with permission to say Mass. Blanc must be embarrassed in the difficult affair of a successor for Bach. Chanche thinks the only one to appoint is Rousselon. Chanche received the news yesterday of the death of Mr. Nicollet, he died without a priest. This news has Chanche completely unhinged. :: V-4-o A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
