Janssens is anxious to correspond with Father David O'Brien and so asks McMaster to insert a notice in the Freeman's Journal which may help in locating the priest. O'Brien came to Natchez from another dicoese about 3 years ago and at the present time he is on a tour collecting funds to rebuild the church at Pascagoula, Mississippi which was destroyed by fire. So far he has not let anyone know his whereabouts, and so several others besides Janssens are disposed to think that something is wrong. Inquiries from 2 ecclesiastics who were expected to have some information have been in vain; moreover infavourable reports on O'Brien have been received from his former Bishop. Janssens knows of no other way to locate him than to insert a notice in the paper. If O'Brien should telegraph his address to McMaster, Janssens asks that it be relayed to him at once since his parish can no longer be left in its neglected condition. Both Catholics and Protestants in Natchez have been kind to Janssens and although he has had a few troubles he is gradually getting used to his new position. He sends his regards to McMaster's daughters and to Mis O'Shea. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
