Scope and Contents

The area in which Dallas is located has not been visited by cyclones such as Mississippi experienced. He has sent an order for a stone for William Montrose Graham 's grave, which Margaret G. Meade desires placed. Bishop Joseph Macheboeuf visited the post recently. He left a young French priest, Father Baugelin at West Las Animas. Dallas thinks he will be recalled because he is certain of only $15 per month and it will cost him $26. Hudson has no idea how the army suffers from want of English speaking mission priests. If an English priest came and spent a day going among the men and not confining himself to the officers there would be a difference. The Protestants catch the men, many Catholics among them by preaching and singing. Most priests come only on week days, reserving Sundays for their regular parish. Did Hudson see Dallas' letter in the Universe. Manly Tello sends a copy of his paper to Dallas. Sister Perpetua has a peculiar influence over Elise Dallas . Marie Dallas is doing well at the Art Academy. Lt. Colonel Elmer Otis has been promoted to full Colonel in command of the 8th Cavalry. :: X-2-k A.L.S. 10pp. 12mo. 10
