Humbert, J., New York, New York, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1842 December 30

Though not a member of Blanc's church, Humbert is an afflicted and heartbroken parent. There is now in New Orleans a ruffian priest by the name of John D. Urquhart who seduced Humbert's daughter, Mrs. Brown, from her husband and two children. He took her to Rio de Janeiro where a subscription was raised by which she was sent back and is now with Humbert, Urquart also having been sent to England. In order to prevent a dreadful tragedy Humbert warns Blanc that his daughter's husband has sworn to follow him and have his life. Should Blanc doubt this statement he can write to the Bishop of New York who knows all the particulars. :: V-4-m A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
