Foyer Creole, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1882 August 2

Readers of the Louisianais must have been surprised Saturday to see a letter bearing Peychardière's signature in which he calls himself the sole editor-owner of the Foyer Créole. This letter is dated from Oran, Franch Algeria. Does he imagine that he has the gift of bi-location and that each week while breathing the air of the banks of the Chéliff, he is here working on the editing of the Foyer Creole? Several honorable persons of the area in the summer of 1880 decided to found a paper in the parish and subscriptions were signed by J.E. Poché, Amand Bourgeois and brothers, Renaudier, Dr. De Poorter, J.P. Bourgeois, L. Thibodeaux, A. Livian Bourgeois, Emile J. Laiche and Alfred Plaisance . Renaudier wrote to Peichardière, then as now, in Oran proposing to him the editorship of the French part of the new paper. Peichardière came and the paper began on December 15, 1880 with the press and materials furnished by the underwriters. The press and materials had been bought from George E. Bovee . Having ceased to cooperate in the publishing of the paper, Peichardière voluntarily broke his contract with the enterprise; his name was struck from the masthead. Clipping In the same clipping:
