Kane, Father Richard, Ascension, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1856 November 21

Kane hopes this note will reach Blanc before the 22nd anniversary of his consecration. Circumstances prevent Kane from being present to congratulate Blanc. Tomorrow Kane will offer Mass that God will bless them for long years with Blanc's government. The doctor, while he is sure of curing Kane's throat tells him that he cannot expect too much from it for a long time. Kane had eight leeches applied to it last Monday. Mr. Landry 's family offers their respects and Miss Aimée Landry ? asks a special remembrance. P.S. Kane intends going to see Blanc in a very short time. :: VI-1-k A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
