Brown, Bishop Thomas J., Chepstow, England, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1853 October 15

A Pole, calling himself Father Antoni Gendziorowski, alleges that he was ordained at New Orleans and for some time officiated in the archdiocese. Being in great want of clergy, Brown accepted his services on the recommendation of a Polish priest in London through whom Gendziorowski had been permitted to celebrate Mass in the Archdiocese of Westminster. But during the 9 or 10 months he has been employed, so many causes have occurred of dissatisfaction and suspicion that Brown solicits a confidential reply from Blanc as to his moral character. :: VI-1-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
