Henni, Bishop John M., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 November 11

Father Lucien Galtier has left his congregation with Henni's consent and desire. His flock is not able to finish a church which they commenced years before Henni was called to Wisconsin. It was principally done at the instigation of Bishop Mathias Loras who at that time had the administration of western Wisconsin and who believed that Prairie du Chien would become an episcopal see; hence the large stone church. Henni has asked Galtier to try his best by collections. It is the first time Henni has allowed collections out of his diocese. He hopes Blanc will not take it amiss. Galtier is truly a worthy priest.
