Chambost, Father Charles, Plaquemine, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 June 24

Things here are going in such a way that it is impossible for Chambost to be absent. Mr. Labauve who came to assault Chambost last Sunday, found Chambost completely insensible to his threats. Labauve found no response to his talk in the stables and taverns and retired with a headache. Chambost does not know the cause of Labauve's hatred; he is against all clergy. Everyone in disgusted; Messrs . Desobry, John Schlatre, Dardenne, Gallagher, and especially Michael Schlatre? think that the parish should be left without a priest. As for Chambost, it is impossible for them to stay. Blanc is to hurry and come. :: VI-1-n A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
