V-4-m A.D.S. 1p. Folio 3 1831 Jan 13 De Neckere, Bishop Leo (Raymond) St. Michael, (Louisiana) To (Father Matthew Bernard Anduze) New Orleans, (Louisiana) No one knows better than de Neckere the vast needs of this portion of the Church and so no one can better appreciate the talent, zeal and piety given them by Anduze. The most neglected part of the diocese at present is Pointe Coupée, Fausse Rivière, and St. Francisville where English is as necessary as French. Iberville is also impatiently waiting for a pastor. Father Delacroix as well as the Ladies of the Sacred Heart were very happy to have Anduze's visit. Copy (French) The following year de Neckere created the position of Preacher in the Cathedral for Anduze while he was pastor of Iberville. Anduze did not wish to fill it; it remained vacant. In 1834 Father (Louis) Moni left for Italy. Bishop (Anthony) Blanc had him come down from Iberville to fill it. In 1838 Anduze settled his affairs and was about to leave for Europe when an unusual event called him to the French fleet at Vera Cruz. ---------------- 1830 Nov(?)15 Garibaldi, Monsignor A., Intermuncio at Paris Paris, (France) To Father (Matthew Bernard) Anduze Liverpool, England Garibaldi thanks Anduze for giving him news of himself; he wishes him a good journey. He believes that in America Anduze will be more quiet than they are in Europe. Here they are quiet enough now; the meetings of the workers ended with meetings. However, there are many political associations which cause anxiety to the government. Perhaps the recognition of Louis Philippe I, which appeared imminent, will give prestige to French trade. Italy is quiet; there is an Austrian army of nearly 100,000 men in Lombardy; there is fear for Spain. As for Garibaldi, there seems signs of leaving here. His chief, the Cardinal Secretary of State, is well and is pleased to have news of Anduze. Garibaldi saw Anduze's agent yesterday; he has been at his house several times. Garibaldi made a call for Anduze on Mr. Carpagna who was very happy to have news of him. His case is won and he is busy with the settlement. He has had no recent news of his sister but always expects some. Garibaldi's colleague sends greetings. Copy (French) 1842 Nov 6 Generes, J.C.
