Landry, Dr., St. Martinville, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1851 November 8
Scope and Contents
They have learned that Father Louis Dufour has been appointed to Plaquemine. They had hoped that when he returned from his trip he would be appointed to St. Martinville where he was remembered so well. In his short stay among them, he found the way to all hearts. Their people, all French, and Catholic by baptism only, had always lived in indifference, the result of ignorance. Dufour made religion respected and practiced. His successors had less fortunate results. They hopes Blanc will send Dufour back. :: VI-1-b A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
