Byrne, Andrew, Bishop of Little Rock, Dublin, Ireland, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 November 25

Byrne offers his congratulations on Blanc's being elevated to the dignity of Archbishop. Byrne leaves here in a day or two for New Orleans with an excellent colony of Sisters of Mercy for his diocese and a priest from All Hallows for Bishop John Mary Odin, C.M. . The excitement in England since the appointment of Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman cannot be told. The military had to be called out yesterday in Liverpool; there is no telling when things may stop. Byrne sails in the John O'Toole. :: V-5-n A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.
