Dubourg, Father Armand J.M., Vacherie, Louisiana, to Bishop Francis Xavier Leray, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1881 April 19

Three months ago he went to New Orleans at Leray's request to explain why he could not satisfy Father Dominic Crespin 's claim in regard to the pews of St. Philip's church. Leray approved. For a long time Crespin has owed him a small sum of money which he had promised to pay at Easter. Now, Crespin tells him that Leray has ordered him to pay Crespin. He asks Leray if this is true. For a long time Crespin has had Father Louis Ozanne 's chalice. Dubourg loaned it to him until he could procure another. He pretends that he had given it to him. It was a gift from Ozanne to Father Cyril Delacroix. He asks Leray to oblige Crespin to give it either to Leray or to Delacroix. Dubourg's parish is doing well. :: VI-3-c A.L.S. French 12pp. 12mo.
