Dinnies, J C, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 March 8

The enclosed no enclosure paper was returned to Dinnies through the Post Office without any explanation except "Refused." This is poor encouragement for one who has made such earnest efforts in the cause of Catholic education. Dinnies sent a copy of the Standard of February 27 to a Catholic lady visiting some Protestant relatives. She was so much moved by the article on the House of the Good Shepherd that she sent Mrs. Dinnies $10 for the subscription Mrs. Dinnies has in hand for the institution and $5 to spend at the Fair. To ignore the press is to ignore the chief source of public opinion. Dinnies has stopped the Ursuline Convent's paper. :: VI-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
