Container Summary

1 ALS dated 9/30/1815 from Louis William Valentin DuBourg (1766-1833) to Albert Gallatin. The Sulpician former president of Georgetown University, DuBourg was consecrated Bishop of New Orleans on September 24, one of the officiants being the French ambassador to the Holy See. This purely routine letter seeks the American Minister to France's help in conveying news of his appointment and inauguration to his waiting flock, whom he had served in the capacity of Administrator Apostolic since 1812-3. Also: transcripts (most in hand of John Gilmary Shea [1824-92]) regarding Dubourg.
