Boursetty, Jules de, Rome, Italy, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1882 April 12

The two envoys of the corporation will be of the opinion that the solution is in Perché's hands. In Rome it is unanimous that Perché is a great bishop; Boursetty does not believe they have the same opinion of M. The Cardinal of Propaganda cannot officially write to Perché; his position is delicate but all his sympathies are with Perché. Perché knows the changes in the Vatican: Ricci is a Cardinal, Monsignor Macchi will not replace him, Leo XIII has chosen Monsignor Théoduli as majordomo, Monsignor Agnozzi has been sent to Columbia as Apostolic Delegate; it is considered a disgrace. Monsignor Jacobini goes to Propaganda as secretary; It is he who will study the question of New Orleans. Macchi remains Master of the Chamber and Baccoli will not leave the Pope. Boursetty is going to return to Paris in a few days. Perché will be saddened by the bankruptcy and ruin of Messrs . Mairet and Vaillet ; they are excellent persons. The crisis has had many victims. If Perché were here with the two envoys of the corporation, the affair would soon be over. Mr. Theard is to receive 4000 francs?; if he supposes that Messrs. E. d'Aouin and Mairet sent Boursetty 1000 francs? for his brief, he is mistaken. Boursetty received nothing. :: VI-3-d A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
