Dupuy, Father Ennemond, Iberville, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 October 2

Dupuy today received Rousselon's letter of September 28. He was glad to receive news about the Archbishop's accident. On September 28 Dupuy met Father Henry Riordan at Plaquemine; he gave a bad picture of New Orleans. The yellow fever is worse at Plaquemine than at New Orleans. One of the Sisters Marianites of the Holy Cross was taken ill. Dupuy found less religion at Plaquemine than when he left it. Father Charles chambost has written quite a few letters to Plaquemine since he left, filled with hideous things. When Chambost left he said he was going straight to Rome to "break" Archbishop Anthony Blanc as a stupid old man. Father Peter Lucas contributed to Chambost's allegations. Doesn't Rousselon think that he should write to Lyons to interdict this conspiracy? Dupuy is not better but no worse in spite of too much work. VI-1-o - A.L.S. - French - 4pp. - 4to. - {7}
