Beccard, Father Améé, Lafourche, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1857 February 1

Beccard learned through Father Rousselon that Blanc judged Beccard to be in error if he thought he had the faculty to dispense in mixed marriages and disparity of cult. Beccard quotes in Latin the faculties he received four years ago. Blanc will recall a request for a dispensation addressed to Blanc personally at the time of his pastoral visit three years ago. A near relative came today also to marry his first cousin. If the priest makes it difficult, the justice of the peace will do it. The parties are Alexandre Wagespack and Elisa Wagespack :: VI-1-l A.L.S. French 2pp. 16mo.
