Blanc, Archbishop Anthony, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Philip Maher, Milliken's Bend, Louisiana, 1854 May 29

In answer to Maher's favor, without date. Blanc sends the permission Maher asks for Father Thomas Langdon Grace of Memphis to proffer? his spiritual services to Milliken's Bend until it can be provided in a more permanent way by their Bishop. The Bishop of Natchez had promised their own Bishop to have their congregation visited by some of his clergy from time to time but has probably not had time or has not been able to send one so far. Blanc returned today from a three weeks' visitation; he begs Maher to forward these lines to Grace by which he will consider himself authorized to perform his ministry in Maher's settlement and Lake Providence, if called there. :: VI-1-g A.L.S. 1p. 12mo.
