Kenrick, Bishop Francis Patrick, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1851 August 25
Scope and Contents
Kenrick has given the case Blanc proposed his consideration but without seeing any satisfactory reason for regarding the marriage as null. The presence of a priest and witnesses gives it the character of a serious contract. If he was truly baptized there is no ground for setting aside the marriage. The impediment of disparìty of worship appears to be the only ground to rely on. Kenrick answers from here where he is engaged in his visitation. In 3 weeks he hopes to reach the city. :: VI-1-b A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
