Kenrick, Archbishop Francis Patrick, Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 October 1

Kenrick offers Blanc his sympathy in his accident. The Holy See has given precedency to Baltimore but has given no title of honor. The College is about to be opened. Kenrick has chosen December 12 for a general collection in all the churches in his diocese. A simultaneous effort throughout the United States would furnish a large fund for the College. The dispensation from abstinence of Saturday is continued for 20 years to the province of Baltimore. The affairs of Philadelphia are postponed to the next National Council. Bishop Richard Vincent Whelan has arrived. VI-1-o - A.L.S. - 1p. - 8vo. - {3}
