Barthe, Father Francois, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1848 October 18

Last Saturday Barthe left with the porter his letter for Blanc in which he announced his departure from St. Charles, the injustices done to him, and the danger of abandoning him. From what Barthe heard today Blanc wishes to do so. He has not taken leave of his senses. When some one reveals the truth they say he has lost his reason. It was the same with the Jesuits and Father Nardonin ?. Barthe has great truths to announce to the world. He asks Blanc to recall other scandals caused by lack of prudence. Barthe will publish letters to which Blanc did not reply and the world will see that the scandal was Blanc's fault. :: V-5-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
