Conlan, R.S.C., Sister A.E., St. Michael, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 March 14

Conlan implores Blanc's protection; her destiny has been decided. Conlan made Blanc acquainted with many circumstances in the interview she had with him and she expressed her fears which have but too well realized. Conlan could expect naught else from Madame Anna Shannon, R.S.J.C.. Conlan gave vent to some uncharitable expressions and answered the notes and questions of Madame Lebesque, R.S.C.J. ; Conlan said what she ought to have kept to herself. She sought to remedy this by asking for a penance; this was refused. Conlan asks Blanc not to annul her vows until further information. If Mother General could be made acquainted with all, Conlan feels she would be lenient. Their sainted chaplain Father Claude Anthony Tholomier has offered his services when in France. :: VI-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
