Agnes, O.S.D., Mother M., Galveston, Texas, to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1886 October 21

It is difficult to grant Edwards's request as the Bishop died poor. She sends a rochet and Bishop N.A. Gallagher administrator of Galveston, Texas sends the enclosed autograph letter. The lace on the rochet is the work of Sister Mary Charles, a daughter of General William Rosecrans, who died at the Ursuline Convent , Brown Co., Ohio,
