Odin, C.M. Bishop John Mary, Galveston, Texas, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 April 11

A steamboat coming from Mexico stopped for a few minutes; Odin takes the opportunity to write. Father John Timon left last Monday for San Antonio; he will return in 2 or 3 weeks to go to New Orleans. Having had the fever during Holy Week, Odin was too weak to accompany him. The Ursulines are all well; they already have 54 pupils in their classes. Odin owes a considerable sum to Philip Rotchford so he is obliged to give him an order on Rousselon for 541 piastres; he draws at 20 days in order to give Rousselon time to receive the 500 given to Bishop Michael Portier :: V-5-g A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
