Boursetty, Jules de, Paris, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1882 March 7

Boursetty received Perché's letter of February 5. He awaits the visit of these gentlemen; he will give them the information they desire. He will meet them at Rome if he does not see them in Paris. He intends to leave for Italy on Monday. The Cardinal cannot officially be involved in affairs which legally lie with Perché. The corporation is Perché he alone can act. Mr. Theard will get funds or credit at Bovillier's for the sum he asks for. All has been done by the bankers and Boursetty paid only on Perché's orders. Bishop Francis Xavier Leray needs a sharp? mind and for lack of any other, chose Boursetty; Boursetty declines the honor. The visit of those men will have no result if the interests are not paid. Perché needs a representative; he has one he does not want?. :: VI-3-d A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
