Hagan, Michal Anaughmacoolun, Near Cloone, County, Leitrim, Ireland, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 July 16

Hagan received a letter from Father Thomas J. Smyth, St. Vincent's College, Cape Gunter Girardeau?, dated June 22, stating the death of his brother, Edward Hagan, on October 3, and that Edward had left some money in the hands of one of Blanc's priests. Smyth stated that he got no certificate or acknowledgement and that he was removed some time before Edward's death. Hagan received a letter from his brother dated April 20, 1857 telling him to write to Father J.M. Lefranc Lefrank of St. Ann's Church, New Orleans for the money and Hagan got no answer. Hagan received another letter dated September 7 enclosing a copy of a letter Edward wrote to Lefrank that Michal should have the money immediately. Hagan encloses the copy of said letter no enclosure. Hagan hopes Blanc will have his brother's money sent to him as it is much required by a person having a large family in this poor distressed country. A reply is to be sent to Father Charles O'Flynn, Parish priest of Cloone, who adds a note giving his address. :: VI-2-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
