O'Grady, C.M., Father Anthony, Dublin, Ireland, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1867 January 26

He has heard that his nephew, Thomas Biggins died October 5 in New Orleans leaving property and that John Gibbons adminstered the property. O'Grady asks Odin to prevent the property from coming into Gibbons' hands as he has no right to it. Biggins has one sister Maria Biggins living with her uncle in Ireland and dependent on him. The business of the deceased was that of harness maker. O'Grady heard that a priest named McHenry of Murray signed the legal document of administration. O'Grady does not think Gibbons is even a distant relative. On the letter in another hand: Inventory of stock, cash and watch total $1600, debts 1173, balance 429. :: VI-2-m A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
