Scope and Contents Since Timon left New Orleans, Anduze has been expecting to hear from Timon about his half of the Brazeau land which he owns in common with Judge Lawless. Now is the best time, the land having raised in value everywhere in the western country. Anduze wants Timon to write to Lawless. Anduze understands that Bishop Joseph Rosati intends going to Rome next spring. He would like to know the time of Rosati's departure; he would like to meet him in rome if he cannot travel with him. Having ...

Scope and Contents Anduze acknowledges receipt of the letter of the 16th in which Blanc told him that his to Duplessis had broken the last tie with the diocese. Anduze is sorry that a letter, made necessary by the grossest lies, has deprived him of his bishop's good will. He has been in America 28 years; he made all his ecclesiastical studies in this country and has been a priest in Louisiana for almost 25 years to the entire satisfaction of the three bishops who preceded Blanc and to his up until today! By...

Scope and Contents In the grave circumstances in which they find themselves, Anduze believes it is his duty to give his opinion frankly and to seek to clear up, by the truth, what is trying to lead astray men excited by jealousy or hate. When Blanc called him thought Dr. Labatut he respectfully received the explanations about what had taken place and promised to do what he could to calm the irritated feelings; he has kept this promise as far as Blanc's subsequent actions have permitted. He said openly that he...

While thanking them for their kindness, Anduze neither can nor should accept their offer. There duties which a priest cannot elude without violating the oath of his ordination and obedience is one of these. His superior having withdrawn his faculties, he cannot again use them without his consent. He has never sought public esteem except in following the rules of conduct of a priest and will never seek to keep that good opinion except by the same measure. Copy French

Scope and Contents Having reached the age of 50 after spending all his adult life in this country either studying or teaching religion, for 23 years as a priest, Anduze does not at the eleventh hour wish to ask to work in another vineyard. In 1827, Bishop Joseph Rosati refused the exeat Anduze asked for, saying that he would never give up the rights which the diocese had over him because of his ordination. If Anduze has been wrong, he has atoned for it. If his position were not independent he would dislike to...

Scope and Contents In the serious circumstances in which they find themselves Anduze believes it his duty to declare the truth. When Blanc called Anduze to his house and in the presence of Dr. Labatut told Anduze that the offence he had received was not intentional, Anduze took him at his word. Since then Anduze learned how a "grateful friend" had pressed for the appointment of Father Stephen Rousselon by the exaggerated report of the lists of signatures in favor of Father Constantine Maenhaut. Blanc told...

He sees the time coming for publicity which will be a horrible evil for religion. Last night the rumor spread that an assembly of priests was preparing a statement against the trustees and a kidnaping against Anduze. Blanc has Anduze's profession of faith in his letter of yesterday of which he sends a copy and which will appear with the reply in the first Courier. A.L.S. French 2pp. Enclosure:

Scope and Contents After his interview with Blanc yesterday, Anduze resolved to tell Blanc some of his considerations. He knows everything "Their Lordships" have written to Rome to counterbalance the communications Anduze may have sent. He is the victim of persecution. He has suffered patiently for 15 months; he has never received the least overture for a reconciliation. Yesterday he was received in a most humiliating way. In the interview Blanc said that Anduze could use his talents to more advantage...

Scope and Contents Blanc's not answering Anduze's two last letters is an affront to an old priest. Several days ago Dr. Labatut gave Anduze an exeat which Blanc had addressed to Labatut for Anduze. The form of this document could not help but annoy a priest who has worked in the diocese of his ordination for 25 years. Anduze asks Blanc to change it. The document, in a way, takes away his character as a priest; has Blanc reflected that a partial censure would be equivalent to an excommunication? For two years...

Scope and Contents It is more than a month since Anduze has ascended the altar. For more than 22 years he has been a priest of the diocese. When for a time he had permission to leave the diocese it was for the good of religion. At Rome he worked to reconstitute the Church of Mexico; at Vera Cruz he labored with the fleet; in Texas he prepared the way for the new Vicar Apostolic. Returning to New Orleans, he yielded to the entreaties of the people in deciding to fill the post of preacher created for him by de...

Scope and Contents After his respectful letter of the 25th Anduze was far from expecting Blanc's answer of yesterday. Blanc Must realize what Anduze felt when he came to ask a blessing on his departure, to have Blanc suddenly put the robe of the centaur on him. Anduze is now going to examine what Blanc calls the whole lot of reasons which make it Blanc's duty to persist in the rigorous measures toward Anduze. If the end of his troubles depend only on Anduze, what must he do, for the oftener he rereads Blanc's...

Scope and Contents Copy. As Labatut has consulted him about the most efficient means to take to stop the differences about the Church of St. Louis, Anduze sends what he believes will best achieve this result. He was personally the object of outrageous and unjust attacks on the part of the trustees and their friends but these attacks never influenced his way of seeing, speaking, or writing. From his frequent dealings with Bishop Anthony Blanc, Anduze believes that the means indicated in this letter conform to...

Father Peter Vincent Plunkett told Anduze that Perché had written him but having received nothing he asks Perché to advise him about the call he proposes to make on Bishop Anthony Blanc tomorrow. A.L.S. French On the same paper:

Scope and Contents Sister's letter greatly astonished Anduze. It is true, as she says, that he has been in America 25 years, that he has been a priest more than 20 years. Old servants are like old horses; it is foolish to count on past services. Anduze no longer has any influence nor does he desire any. Bishop Dubourg was a Father, Rosati a confrere, de Neckere a dear friend. Anduze does not see Blanc except officially to receive his orders or ask his blessing.
