Manuscripts
This letter, written in French by Le Couteulx in Buffalo, New York, to a friend in France, describes in detail the Franklin shipwreck off New York and how the author and his family were saved. The letter also provides specific information about the Know Nothing Party, a political movement of the time characterized by anti-immigration, mostly anti-Catholic, sentiment. More specifically Le Couteulx talks about a Catholic church being burned to the ground and attempts to "burn other churches." He also talks about Catholic clergy being fined as a result of their actions.
