Manuscripts
These 14 items deal with the Catholic Church in Oregon, and more specifically the city of Saint Paul. The group consists of two letters by Willard Hall Rees, an Oregon pioneer, to Archbishop Blanchet of the Archdiocese of Oregon City, requesting information about the history of the Catholic Church in Oregon, and 11 letters by B. Delorme to Archbishop Charles Seghers, who succeeded Archbishop Blanchet after his retirement in 1880, regarding land owned by the Catholic Church in Saint Paul. Nine of the Delorme letters are written in French. The group also contains the first survey of Saint Paul in 1859, by Archbishop Blanchet.
