Scope and Contents Mullon replies to Blanc's letter of yesterday. In removing Father Cyril Delacroix from St. Patrick's, Blanc is depriving Mullon of his principal aid. Delacroix came immediately after his ordination and has been made what he is under Mullon's care. Delacroix is not considered a mere Frenchman in this community; he is favorably known in this and in St. Theresa's congregation. He preaches in both languages and is willing to take the charge and wait for an assistant. As for the person Blanc...

Scope and Contents Since speaking with Blanc on Sunday, Mullon talked with Mr. Keating who surveyed the graveyard two years ago. He has not the deed but found the stakes of a previous survey. Keating's opinion is that the fence is the southern limit. Blanc is to ask Philip? Rotchford for the deed. Keating? will make inquiry as to who owns the ground adjourning the graveyard. Should Blanc or Mullon inquire, the owners would probably extort more than the value. The present ground is quite filled. :: VI-1-l...

Scope and Contents

Receipts and expenditures for the month of September, St. Patrick's Church . P.S. There exists a most painful state of affairs between Father Cyril Delacroix and Father John Flanagan Flanigan on account of Flanigan's brother who is kept there by Flanigan. The man is insolent; they do not eat at the same table. Mullon thinks it is indelicate for Flanigan to force his shoemaker brother forward as the associate of Delacroix. :: VI-1-m A.L.S. 1p. folio

As pastor of St. Patrick's Mullon complains of Father Richard Kane, one of the curates. His language and manner to Mullon, when desired to comply with regulations, have been not only devoid of the sacerdotal spirit, but rude, insulting, and even defiant. :: VI-2-g A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents This morning Mullon called to see Father William Ivers who said that he would resume his duties tomorrow. Much is being said of him and Blanc is to ask him whether he knows Mrs. Tinsel who keeps a boarding house in Diamond's Row, and her sister, now Mrs. Flower . Another story is that he took a woman into his room. Meeting Mrs. Tinsel's sister in St. Patrick's, he begged her not to go to confession to anyone here, but in Lafayette. Should any of these stories become more public, who shall...

Since speaking about a priest to replace Father J.? Conway, he thinks Blanc will do better for St. Patrick's not to send Father Simon A. Paris there. They can do the duties until Father John Flanagan Flanigan can come permanently. Paris was in no good repute in St. Louis. Flanigan was ordained by Blanc and is a person of acknowledged piety. :: V-5-g A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Scope and Contents Mullon fears that Blanc has misconceived the import of his remarks. He does not know Father Simon A. Paris but he was told that he might be much more exact than he had been at St. Louis. Since Mullon has been so very unfortunate in his colleagues in St. Patrick's he has the greatest solicitude to procure one now who should be all that Blanc himself could desire. They have had Father J.? Walsh, Father Victor Jouanneault, Father James? Conway and the edifying Father Peter Vincent Plunkett,...

Father William Ivers came home yesterday; Mullon fears that the scandal is not ended at St. Patrick's, and that if Ivers remains the evil will not soon be effaced. Mullon gave Blanc notice of Father James? Conway and Blanc's leniency tolerated him until scandal stood revealed to the gaze of all. Many, after the service for Ireland, inquired if there would be any other priest to assist in the confessional; Mullon asks Blanc to depute one. :: V-5-g A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Scope and Contents Jose, the bearer of this, this unhappy and deluded old man, has proceeded so far in his outrageous conduct toward Mullon that he can bear with it no longer. About a month ago he observed to Father Cyril De La Croix that "the malediction of God was on St. Patrick's Church because it had no good priest." This morning Mullon said the two first Masses; Jose did not receive Communion though he was at both Masses. After Mullon had left the church Jose presented himself to De La Croix to receive....

Mrs. Isabella Fox, mother of Mrs.? Tracy, and one of the best benefactresses of St. Patrick's will present this. The purpose is to obtain admission for two parentless boys, children of her niece, who died last week, into the Asylum. :: V-5-c A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Scope and Contents The contents of the Jeffersonian, on the occasion alluded to by Blanc, should not surprise him when he found in its columns of the 16th, on the arrival of the news of General Andrew Jackson's death, that all the Catholic churches were hung in black and the priests engaged in saying Masses all day for his soul. The article of Monday last is of the same ridiculous character. There were no black drapes, no injunction to pray for Jackson but as able a defense as Mullon was capable of making of...

Mullon has just received Blanc's note in relation to Father W. Ivers . Mullon yesterday expressed to Ivers his unwillingness to have him at St. Patrick's unless the Bishop insisted. Mullon knows it is inconvenient to provide for the Asylum but is sorry Ivers must be left to supply it. He is exceedingly trying for Mullon. :: V-5-d A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Scope and Contents The special object of Mullon's calling on Blanc today is this: This morning at the Asylum Mrs. Hogan asked Father William Ivers to say a mass for her son who was to be married at the asylum on Saturday by Father Constantine Maenhaut . Ivers said it could not be; Mrs. Hogan said he was an old acquaintance and they must have it so. Mullon deems the asylum a very improper place; he hopes Blanc will not permit Maenhaut to marry persons in one of the chapels entrusted to the care of a curate of...

The mayor called on Mullon as a consequence of a report of the commissary that the air was putrid at the cemetery in consequence of the rains and requested that lime be strewn over the recently made graves. Mullon complied. He has given directions to the sexton to repair the road into the court yard; it was almost impassible. He found it would require nearly $1000 to plank...
