Odin, Bishop John Mary, New York, New York, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 October 6

It is impossible for Odin to arrive in Texas in time to pay some pressing debts. He asks Rousselon to collect the letter of exchange he sends and to keep the amount to pay a draft he is sending to Jose Cassiano on Rousselon for 2927 piastres and 60 cents. The draft is for $1869.25, what he has already received, $1000 and what Odin is going to pay for Bishop Blanc to Father Annet Lafont, $150. Odin hopes to start toward New Orleans in two weeks.
