Humbrecht, Father Joseph, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1881 November 4

By a letter dated October 21, he informed Perché that he had left Father Celestine Marie Frain 's presbytery. Since then he has been staying with his brother, not far from the church of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart which he had served for nine months to the satisfaction of both his superiors and the congregation. The situation is incomprehensible for both priests and faithful. Therefore, he had concluded that he must take a trip until his affairs are settled. His only regret is that at the beginning of his career in the diocese he was placed with the most despotic, the most brutal and the most impossible of the priests there. Despite everything, he will continue to count on Perché's benevolence and sympathy. :: VI-3-c A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
