Kenrick, Archbishop Francis Patrick, Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 August 5

Very Reverend Dr. John Henry? Newman, president of the Irish University desires to be allowed the privilege of inscribing the names of all the American prelates and distinguished laymen, on the books of the Institutions as friends and patrons. If Blanc will transmit his name and those of his suffragans, Newman will feel highly honored. The Relief fund has succeeded and enabled them to pay $1200 to Dr. Levi Silliman Ives and also $200 to W.H.B., formerly a minister and now dependent on the generosity of two of his former congregation, and $100 to H. Major, who needed it in addition to the profits of his journal to support a large family. The treasurer reports a few dollars on hand and the half-year's annuity guaranteed to Dr. Ives falls due on October 1. Kenrick encloses a new office sent him from Rome. :: VI-1-h A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
