Beauprez, Father Peter Francis, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 April 25

Since he cannot talk with Blanc in person before leaving next Tuesday, Beauprez leaves his will with Father Rousselon. Father James Ignatius Mullon today forbade him to say Mass in his church where he has been accustomed to say it. Mullon said it was because of reports he had heard of Beauprez; Beauprez thinks it is revenge. If his passage was not paid, Beauprez would wait for Blanc to explain it. It all comes from certain priests who have discredited him. He has been telling Blanc so for more than ten years. Two weeks ago he talked with Mr. Gill, Sr . at the home of Mr. Moussot? ; Beauprez saw that he had been painted black and when he demanded who had done so, he said so and so of his confreres. P.S. His address is Bruges, Belgium. :: V-5-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
