Chaland, Father Louis, Galveston, Texas, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1880 April 19

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-c

Scope and Contents

Chaland, Chancellor of the Diocese of Galveston, Texas, sends McMaster $5. to be used for the poor, famished Sons of Ireland. P.S. Chaland asks McMaster's prayers for his Diocese and Province in particular. They have had two Bishops in Galveston so far. The Coadjutor resigned first and now Bishop C. M. Dubuis, the titular Bishop will not return to Texas. Dubuis will retain his title and an Administrator Bishop will be appointed. Bishop A. D. Pellicer died at San Antonio, Texas last week. A Bishop still has to be named for Natchez, Mississippi and for Natchitoches, Louisiana so McMaster can judge what sort of a fix the Province of New Orleans is in. He gives his regards to Valette. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
