Odin, Bishop John Mary, Galveston, Texas, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 February 22

The trip from New Orleans to Galveston was pleasant enough. The Sisters Ursulines ? thank Blanc for making it possible to begin the building which they need so much. They will make the necessary preparations. Yesterday Odin received a letter from the new Bishop Thaddeus Amat ? of Monterey; he seems to want to be on good terms with his neighbor Texas and invited Odin to pay him a little visit. Perhaps Odin could go next summer. Bishop John Timon had spoken to him about odin. Archbishop John Baptist Purcell sent Odin a printed circular of Archbishop Cajetan Bedini in which he asks that a list of questions be answered. Purcel l forgot to attach the questions. Perhaps Blanc could send him one. :: VI-1-g A.L.S. French 1p. 8vo.
