B., Mary, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1855 August 23

Mary's husband has just left a crushing disappointment on her heart. She has cast her whole existence upon one act over which he cannot nor shall not step. She is sure he appreciates Blanc's good will in their behalf. She is not angry with him for not accepting Blanc's name; he has been very kind in explaining it to her. She will have wealth but where are the lady-like privileges she needs. She got that paper from her husband which she showed Blanc with her promise that she would see him through his last difficulty. She wants means in her own hands. She will come to see Blanc tomorrow. :: VI-1-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
