Kinsella, Father J.J., Killeigh, Ireland, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 October 15

A parishioner, Bernard Brien, had a brother Michael Brien, who leaving the country, sold his land to George Patterson for 13 years which will expire next March. Bernard is persuaded that Michael died in New Orleans about 1834 and that he left no child living. Bernard being the only surviving brother, is heir to the property. A friend of Brien, Thomas Conly in New Orleans to whom Brien wrote today, will write immediately either to Brien or to Blanc. The law of Ireland will require an affidavit which if corraborated by Blanc's letter would place Bernard in the enjoyment of his rights. :: V-4-o A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
