Leneuf, Father Hippolyte, Bordeaux, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1882 August 22

Leneuf told Jules De Boursetty about Perché's letter. Boursetty said that he no longer wished to attend to the affairs of New Orleans. If no one wishes to do so, the triumph of the thief will be complete. Boursetty left this morning for Paris; he will return here on Friday until the end of September. If Perché is going on vacation, why not come around by Bois Roger? Rome did not write the letter of which Perché speaks. L. must have invented it; he is capable of it. Although it is not yet completely decided, Leneuf will probably take a house in a suburb of Bordeaux. :: VI-3-d A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
