Gerow, R(ichard) O., Bishop of: Natchez, Miss(issippi)
 to Father Thomas T. McAvoy, C.S.C: Notre Dame, Indiana

In reply to McAvoy's request for information about Father (Ghislain Joseph) Boheme: There are in Natchez several letters to Boheme from Bishop (William Henry) Elder and from Boheme to Elder, but they are merely routine. The enclosed references contain about all the information available about Boheme. In a letter of Elder to Boheme which Gerow quotes, Elder praises the work of Boheme, who was held in high regard.

1940 Mar. 13
Paré, Father George: Grosse Ile, Michigan
 to Father Thomas (T.) McAvoy, (C.S.C.): Notre Dame, Ind(iana)

Paré has forgotten what McAvoy told him about the baptismal register of Father (Ghislain Joseph) Boheme, whether it was of L'Anse Creuse or Monroe. According to Parés recollection Boheme was involved in a scandal in L'Anse Creuse, (Michigan). There is a letter in the Notre Dame Archives from Blanc (Gerow) about Boheme dying in the tent of Stonewall Jackson. Paré will get to Notre Dame some day for a long chat.
