Kane, Father Richard, Ascension, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1857 March 27

After three weeks absence from the city it is time for a letter. Kane feels a little lonesome though he finds this good family even kinder and more amiable than ever. The advantages to his health, the satisfaction of many to hear Mass and who fulfill their Easter duty compensate in some measure. Several on the other side who complain of not being able to understand Father Michael Calvo, C.M. have come here. The doctor thinks Kane is in a fair way of doing well but thinks it will be necessary to drink sulphur water for complete recovery. In case Kane is well, will Blanc promise to keep Kane with him? Kane wrote the other day to Father Aubert. P.S. Mr. and the Misses Landry send their respects. :: VI-1-l A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
