Chauvin, Father J.E., and Father Paul E. Simon, Mansura, Louisiana, to Bishop Francis Xavier Leray, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1880 May 10
Scope and Contents
They have sad news to report in regard to Marksville and Father F.X. Guay, who has dragged in the mud of vices, his character and dignity as a priest. He has acknowledged everything and was chased away after his Mass yesterday. The various objects belonging to him, which he left, will not suffice for the money from the pews and the fair. He left like a thief. They went to Marksville to settle some matters in consequence of this affair. Chauvin will continue to take care of Marksville until Leray sends a priest there. P.S. They have prevented the newspapers of Marksville from reporting this. :: VI-3-b A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
