Carius, Father Anthony, Havana, Cuba, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 March 10

Although Carius knows that Blanc is against him, he is confident that Blanc will not refuse to read a few lines. Carius arrived here on Ash Wednesday and is to leave tonight or tomorrow. Carius did not think that leaving Blanc would cause such pain; he would have been so happy if Blanc had given him the place he asked for. He thinks that Father Rousselon is against him. Carius had to leave Carrollton for his spiritual well-being and he did not want another place as assistant in the city. If he had known Father Paul Guérard' s intention to leave, Carius would have been happy to arrange with him. He assures Blanc that if he could not obtain faculties from a bishop he would rather starve than exercise his ministry. :: VI-2-a A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
