Desconnet, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1857 October 20

Desconnet writes to tell Blanc of the conversation with the pastor of St. James parish had with him about a widow who is the schoolteacher in this parish. This women acted badly toward Desconnet. In June the pastor had dinner with this woman at? Victor Forstall 's house next to the church. The three stayed there from 3 in the afternoon until ll or toward midnight. This woman acted with them to dismiss him when they called him about 10 o'clock. The pastor assisted in the scheme instead of supporting a man who has to work for the family that this teacher had discharged him; the pastor told someone that Desconnet was to go this. The pastor would do better to attend to his own affairs than to? talk about Father Jean? Martin who is without reproach.
