Hebert, M. and others, Plaquemine, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 November 17

The undersigned trustees and members of the Church of St. John Baptist, Iberville Parish have learned with deep regret of Blanc's intention to remove their pastor, Father Henry Riordan . Although his stay as a priest has been brief, he has endeared himself to them. He exercises a happy influence over the youth of their parish who remember him as their former preceptor. They hope that Blanc will permit Riordan to remain. Signing as trustees: Michael Schlatre, Jr ., John Schlatre, E.B. Trinidad, F. Gallagher . Other signers: V. J? Dupuy, James L. Barker ?, H.
