Kenrick, Archbishop Francis Patrick, Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1860 February 19

The Cardinal Prefect, on the death of Bishop John Barry, requested Kenrick to furnish a list of candidates for Savannah, the chief one on the former list having been appointed rector of the American College. On consultation with the Bishops John McGill of Richmond and James Wood of Philadelphia, Kenrick sent two names recommended by the Bishop of Charleston, Father Jeremiah Joseph O'Connell, Father Anthony Dominic Pellicer and a third proposed by the Bishop of Richmond, Father Peter Lavialle. Blanc is to communicate his views as to Pellicer's eligibility to the Cardinal Prefect. The Bishop John Quinlan of Mobile testifies favorably. Kenrick was pleased with the report of the proceedings of Blanc's late Council and of the Catholic laity. :: VI-2-c A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
