Durbin, Father Elisha J. St. Vincent's Kentucky, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1855 April 23

Some months ago, Duroin wrote to Father James Ignatius Mullen concerning a Mr. Coffy ; his Christian name may be Andrew Coffy . He has taken as a wife a Mrs. Ellen O'Mealy, maiden name Ellen Callaghan . She has a son and daughter. Her husband, the father of those children, lives in this county. She would be glad for those children to be sent to him. And if the woman should die it would be well to inform him. It may be that Doffy and she are wicked enough to approach the sacraments. They are Irish but may not belong to Mullen's congregation. The husband is John O'Mealy . If those children could be sent to him, care of the wharf master at Uniontown he would pay their passage. They came from Ireland by his means. These people are said to live in New Orleans. If Blanc can find them he is to let Durbin know. O'Mealy would like to know about things. P.S. The girl is about 16, Catherine O'Mealy; the boy about 14, Michael O'Mealy :: VI-1-i A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
