Nash, James P., Galveston, Texas, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1844 August 14
Item
Identifier: CANO V-5-b
Scope and Contents
Nash asks for Blanc's prayers for the repose of the soul of Father Joseph Paquin who departed this life at 10 o'clock last night. Paquin and Father John Brands Brants took ill on the 5th. The yellow fever epidemic is still raging. Brandts seems to be better this morning but he is not yet out of danger. Several Protestants called for the assistance of the priest but there were none to attend. Bishop Peter Richard Kenrick left Galveston about 6 weeks ago; they have heard nothing of him since. The shock to him will be more than he can well bear. The funeral will take place this morning at 10 o'clock. :: V-5-b A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
