Hoey, John, New York, New York, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 June 8

Hoey has made the certificate payable to Blanc; the amount is principally for the use of his sister who has been admitted into the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans. Her maiden name is Bridget Hoey, and Mary Abraham when a Sister of Charity. Her case is familiar to Blanc. She wrote for means to furnish her with clothing required of her as she was cast on the world penniless and friendless had it not been for Blanc. She asked to have the money sent by Bishop John McCloskey when going to the Provincial Council but McCloskey had already gone. On the address side of the letter is written Michael Golden, $183.60. :: V-5-e A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
