Kavanaugh, Morgan, Springfield, Illinois, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1851 January 22

About November 20, 1850, Kavanaugh wrote to Blanc inclosing $15 to be paid to Father Thomas Hase who landed at New Orleans with a colony of Irish immigrants intending to settle in the diocese of Little Rock, Arkansas, under Bishop Byrne. The money was for one of the immigrants, Eliza Corcoran, who arrived in Springfield on the 5th. She has since died. She said she had never heard of the money. Perhaps it has been paid to Hase who did not sail with the girl not did she see him after landing at New Orleans. A letter was addressed to Father Stephen Rousselon acquainting him of the affair. Kavanaugh asks Blanc to inform him. :: VI-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
