Dartigues, J. and P. Delahoussaye, Franklin, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1852 September 6

The monument designated under the name of the Catholic church of Franklin is exposed to being used for quite a different purpose. Their lands are still flooded. 2?500 piastres have been paid; 1200 are due. Father Paul Guerard has been absent for 5 weeks. To stop the sale of this building is beyond their power Blanc's reply alone can put an end to the end of Catholicism here. :: VI-1-d A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
