Boursetty, Jules, de: Paris, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, Bordeaux, France, 1880 June 1

Mrs. Diano asked him to send to Perché a copy of a letter which she has just received from New Orleans. Justly offended at its terms, she asks for what is legitimately due: capital and interest. It is harmful to the credit of the diocese to send such contradictory letters to Europe. Bishop Francis Xavier Leray lacks the power to acknowledge; that is for the courts, Boursetty saw E. d'Aquin again yesterday and the latter wants some funds for the July coupons. Perché's funds being in Burgundy, he asks him to send him a letter of authorization and he will take it to Dijon. It would be useful for Perché to write the letters which he had prepared at Paris to Cardinal John Simeoni and Judge Paul Emile Théard. P.S. He has just received Perché's letter of May 31. He does not believe very much in the reconciliation and he sees such inexperience of business that, if it were not for Perché personally, he would forget everything pertaining to New Orleans. He will do what Perché wishes, beginning after the first of July, but it is important for them to meet at Dijon. He wonders if Leray is coming and if he will go to Bordeaux. Perché should send him the letter immediately by Mr. Manet. - A.L.S. -
