Cazeau, Father C.F., Quebec, Canada, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 June 15

It was just at the moment when he was leaving for a visit to his diocese, that Bishop Peter Flavian Turgeon could see Michael Moisan mentioned in the letter Blanc wrote on April 5. The Bishop has asked Caylan to supply the information. This person denies absolutely what Barbara Kenny imputes to him. He affirms that many others have had relation with this prostitute. He refused any reparation, saying he has no obligation in justice. The Bishop cannot judge if Moisan is wrong or right except to inform Blanc and to express his regret that Thomas Diamond who gave, in his favor, a certificate of liberty, had not make known then the obligations he had contracted with Barbara. Perhaps it will be possible to obtain, before declaring him free, the indemnity which says he has a right to refuse. :: V-5-m A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
