Scope and Contents Last year at the time of First Communion, Aubert told Blanc how the choir of St. Mary's had rejected the singers whom Aubert had invited. Blanc had replied that next year Aubert would be in charge to invite whom he wished. Mr . Calligeron 's daughter is making her First Communion; he has offered to sing. But Father Stephen Rousselon has objected, not wishing to oppose his mulatresses?. In any other circumstance Aubert would not insist but should one give in to these women? If Blanc does not...

Scope and Contents Aubert learned from Vincent who got it from Mr. Dutel that Mr. de Sard said that Blanc had threatened to interdict Father Richard Kane or Aubert if they wrote against Le Propagateur Catholique . Aubert left the Propagateur in silence; he did no wrong. He made up a reason; he could not give the real one. At first he laughed at the Rambler article and then cried in view of the sad consequences. At the request of Father Maenhaut Aubert read the passage about St. Louis in the last number of the...

Scope and Contents They at last arrived in the Empire City after 2 weeks of travel. On leaving St. Louis from where Aubert wrote to Father Rousselon, they went to Chicago . There he saw Bishop Duggan, coadjutor and administrator. The town is full of activity. If it progresses in line with its stores and port, it should improve the railroad from St. Louis to Lake Michigan; it is one continuous bump. But what fertile plains, what a sea of prairie! In Chicago Aubert saw Fathers Michael Lyons and William Edwards...

Scope and Contents Aubert arrived this morning. He has seen the Bishop of St. Louis who talked much of Archbishop Blanc and Rousselon. Aubert's trip has been very agreeable. Last Sunday at Visborg Vicksburg? Aubert met the "confrere" who gave the service on board. It was the negro who served them at table. It was a curious thing to see these meetings held by a negro . The flood is wide spread - men and women living on barges and animals dying in the water. They are leaving for Chicago. P.S. Aubert sends...

A note on this copy: Act of incorporation approved May 27,...

Scope and Contents Aubrée had hoped that Leray would come to take some rest from the cares of the diocese of New Orleans but in reading the Propagateur he sees that Archbishop Perché's health makes it impossible. Father J.M. Ledreux is working with Zeal. Aubrée hopes to see his congregation soon grow by 2 or 3 families. They need religious books but his means of 300 piastres do not allow him to go ahead. Aubrée has contracted no debts except at the pharmacist's and 19 piastres for the "Faith of Our Fathers"...

Scope and Contents The only reply to Aubrée's letter of several weeks ago has been the circular about the Propagation of the Faith. In placing Father Ledreux at Bayou Cye last year, Aubrée gave up 150 piastres of revenue. Leray then sent him $100. This year Aubrée has had to pay $1.60 to $2 for corn as the corn he used to receive from Bayou Cye belongs to Ledreux. If he could pay the old debts of around $100, Aubrée believes he could keep even. He owes 10 or 15 piastres to the pharmacist and 19 piastres for...
