Canedo, Margarita Juana de, Old Mines, Missouri, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 November 1

When Canedo was a little child she saw Blanc frequently and the impression of his goodness has never left her. She is a native of Havana, educated in the United States. She has studied Latin and Greek, mathematics, music, and modern languages. She has taught in the dioceses of Nashville and St. Louis. She was at one time an assistant editor at the Detroit Catholic Vindicator. She desires to obtain employment as a Catholic teacher in New Orleans. She has been teaching in Old Mines and playing the organ in church but she does not dare remain for the winter on account of the cold. Father James Fox would recommend her. She is quite poor but not destitute. She is not afraid of the fever having spent the summer of 1852 in Havana and 1855 in New Orleans. :: VI-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
