Kane, Father Richard, Ascension, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 July 31

Kane asks Blanc not to be displeased at the Donaldson postmark. Deeming it his duty to comply with Blanc's wishes, Kane had made up his mind to remain at St. Martinville until called elsewhere. But the state of his wardrobe rendered a rapid journey to the coast a necessity. But alas for human calculations, the boat left him in the lurch. In Blanc's letter he enumerates several counts against Kane to which he can give a satisfactory answer. Kane begs Blanc not to accuse him of having given him pain. Since Blanc does not wish him to be here, Kane longs to get away. His health is indifferent. Father Ange Marie Jan received and treated Kane very kindly. :: VI-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
