Garesché, Jules, Pte. Isabelle, Texas, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 October 3

He thanks Blanc for his letter and his interest in his needs. He also had a letter from Bishop John Mary Odin who writes that he has found four priests for the valley of the Rio Grande and that he will arrive the middle of November. To give a push to the subscriptions, Garesché has had the letters translated and printed in their newspapers. A lot at Brownsville has already been put aside for a Catholic church and Mr. Mussena has promised a lot here as well as helping them at Matamoros. Garesché hopes they can build in each place.
