Mullon, William, Dayton, Ohio, to Bishop Anthony Blank!, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 July 12

These lines are from the father of Father James Ignatius Mullon of St. Patrick's Church. He moved to Dayton in 1842, bought a house and lot for $450. He lives a few doors from the German Church, about a mile from the English Church. He entered his 77th year January 1, 1849; the Reverend Mullon his 56th last Christmas day. Blanc is to direct or assist Father Mullon to collect $180 before August 21 or he will be penniless with a wife and four children. $180 will secure him a home for life.
