Murray, C.B., Milliken Bend, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1851 March 20

Murray writes on church matters. The person Blanc sent here last year, Murray cannot style? a priest. He did nothing but spread infidelity?. Murray regrets he did not turn him out of his house. But before he received Blanc's letter he left. Father A. Doyle, since he has been here he has contended earnestly for the faith. The people have taken offense at some of his words, once when he first came and two weeks ago. This grieves Doyle very much. Doyle is warm in the faith and the people cold. A great deal of good could be done here but it will take patience. Murray has not been able to obtain a title? for the ground yet. Mr. Morancey continues promising?. Murray wishes Blanc could come up and urge the importance of it. Murray has laid out upwards of $2000. Doyle has been to Vicksburg and is about to start now for Natchez, Father Stephen H. Montgomery ? being at the point of death. :: VI-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
