Durier, Father Anthony, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1880 December 4

In the case in question the truth does not lie with either the accusors of Father Gilbert Raymond or with Raymond himself. The whole truth would cause Perché to be angry at all the administrative personnel during his absence. For the good of the diocese it would be best for him to throw his cloak over the past. He is perched highly enough to do so without weakness. :: VI-3-b A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
