Scope and Contents Charbonnel sends Blanc a copy of his letter to Father Charles Chambost ; he hopes Chambost will not come. On November 20 or 21 Charbonnel will consecrate the Coadjutor of Toronto, Bishop John Joseph Lynch . His bulls are dated August 26; he seems very judicious and pious. That is not what Blanc would have got in the Bishop of Toronto. Charbonnel would like to act as a member of the Third Order of St. Francis, joining some Capuchin monastery in France and instructing, visiting the sick,...

Scope and Contents Charbonnel has received permission from Blanc to receive Chambost, with the promise of an exeat as soon as he is in Toronto. It is not certain that Charbonnel will stay at Toronto. He has just received the appointment of a Coadjutor who is not French. There is an anti-French faction in Toronto. The posts which he has at his disposal are neither brilliant nor lucrative, and are demanding. He plans to turn as much of his administrative work as possible over to his Coadjutor. After these...

Scope and Contents Charbonnel would no longer be Bissey's friend if he did not tell him that it is impossible to approve of Bissey's plan. He does not say that all his complaints are without basis; he promises inviolable secrecy. Bissey had troubles elsewhere; he found others in Canada; Charbonnel promises a third kind in Bissey's new place. He will never find as many as among the Irish. Charbonnel has asked the bishop twice to give Carayon a mission; it would have been better for him and for Bissey to have...

Scope and Contents Blanc's affair has upset Charbonnel's. Charbonnel will have a Coadjutor without the request that Blanc made for one, too. Charbonnel has not heard from Rome though his request reached there the beginning of June; Blanc's has stopped everything. It occurred to Charbonnel that Blanc's colleague archbishops had been consulted by the Holy See concerning Blanc's wish and it was not approved. There is reason to fear Charbonnel as a choice for Coadjutor of New Orleans. He knows the difficulties of...

Scope and Contents Yesterday on receipt of Blanc's letter from Lyons, Chardey went to Father G. Herval 's to tell him the contents; he was out. Returning there this morning he learned that Herval had replied yesterday to Blanc's letter to him. The St. Louis although a solid ship was built especially for cruising along the American coasts and so is unsuitable for transatlantic navigation. This is the general opinion. Chardey thinks it would be prudent to go from Liverpool, on the steamer for Boston or New York....

Scope and Contents Bishop Jean Pierre Boyer has directed him to give Rouxel the information which he sought about Mr. Laroche. Hardly had Laroche begun his philosophy when it was discovered that his conduct was immoral and he was dismissed. He asked for his certificate in order to obtain free passage, but the Bishop did not reply. He also wrote from New Orleans for testimonial letters but no reply was made. The directors of the seminary are unanimous in believing that he leaves everything to be desired. A.L.S....

Scope and Contents Charelle acknowledges McMaster's letter and thanks him for the good news. He has asked Louis Veillot to visit him Aug.25 and they will miss McMaster, but hope to shake his hand on the way to Rome. He is not opposed to the Carlist movement but is doing all he can to further that cause. It is the cause of religion and legitimacy. But in France they do not know when they will have to defend their own principles of society and consequently, Charelle does not like to see the men who should...

Scope and Contents He takes advantage of Bishop John Mary Odin 's departure for the new world, to communicate with Blanc. He will never forget the few days Blanc spent at Ambierle some years ago. He never forgets Blanc at the altar. Blanc knows, from the newspapers, of the great coup which has momentarily saved France, and entire Europe. He will also learn of the conduct of the president of the Republic toward the Orleans family. Louis Philipe, in order to preserve his immense fortune had ceded to his...

Scope and Contents He received the letter sent with Bishop John Mary Odin with great joy at this mark of Blanc's remembrance and affection. Charged with so large a mission Blanc no doubt has many cares but also many consolations. Here the ideas of independence have seized all heads so that it is almost impossible in France to conduct a parish. There is nothing but games, dancing, and debauchery. Blanc would not know Ambierle parish. The only bourgeois family left in the parish is the youngest of the des Chaux....

Scope and Contents Octave Cornay went to New Orleans about a month ago to see Blanc in regard to a difficulty arising between Mr. Gerard ? and the members of the Catholic church in Pattersonville. Blanc not being home, the propositions were left with his vicar general. The doors of St. Joseph Church have been closed by Gerard who says it is according to Blanc's orders. They have not had Mass in it for four months. They propose to give Blanc the church providing he takes its debts of $450 or $500. If they have...

Scope and Contents Conforming with Blanc's letter of December 15, Chartier published in the two newspapers of the town, the notice which Blanc will find on one of the pages Chartier is sending. This appeal has remained without effect to this day. Chartier has no more courage to try to procure the means to stay. IfMr. Biossat had not given him his board on credit, Chartier would be starving. He regrets that the Vicar General of Vincennes advised him to come to Louisiana. In all he has received from Avoyelles...

Scope and Contents Chartier received Blanc's letter of the 5th when he returned yesterday from Avoyelles and also the note enclosed. He was called to Avoyelles for a sick person and stayed almost three weeks with some results. There has been an unhoped for reaction in his favor; he will give Blanc the details when he comes down for retreat. They are taking steps to have a resident priest and Chartier's plan of a church at Marksville is taking shape. Chartier has not yet received an answer from the Bishop of...

Scope and Contents On arriving home from Alexandria, Chartier found Rousselon's letter of October 17. An administrator has been named for Father Robert Doogan 's estate but only as a formality as he left hardly enough to bury himself. However it is possible that his friends will get together to pay his debts. He will make known the claims of the diocese and as he will buy some articles at the auction, he will try to get permission to pay Rousselon on Doogan's account. Chartier will soon come down to New...

Scope and Contents Chartier has just learned from his assistant, Father Joseph Richardbole, that the pastor of the Cathedral has complained to Blanc about the preaching. Chartier went to Blanc's house but he was absent so he is writing so that his words will reach Father Constantine Maenhaut if Blanc deems it apropos. Each was to preach in turn; the pastor and Father Felipe Ascensio were to provide a substitute if one or the other did not want to preach. This is how things stood last Monday when Father Petit...

Scope and Contents Chartier is condemned by force to leave this diocese because he could not in conscience coordinate his views about certain burials with the views of the administration of this diocese. Blanc is to read the paragraph in the paper Chartier is sending. If one wishes to reply that the difference is that Editor Dujarrier died "in conflictu" while Judge Leonard died "extra locum conflictus" although from a wound, and after having made his peace with the Church; this reply would fall before the...

D'Abain would like to discuss the situation in Spain with McMaster, since McMaster's aricles on Spain have so...
