Odin, Bishop John Mary, Galveston, Texas, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 March 12

Their Sisters Ursulines wish to get a barrel of red wine like that which Rousselon bought for Odin. He will send the money by return boat. They are busy with the building for the Sisters. They have already let a contract for the bricks. They hope soon to have a better and roomier convent to revive the courage of their Sisters. Their school is doing well in spite of great opposition. Odin thanks Rousselon for all his kindnesses during his last visit. If Rousselon can escape from his duties after Easter, he is to come to breathe the fresh air of their island. P.S. Rousselon is to add three boxes of macaroni to the wine for the Ursulines. Mr. Sambola, their neighbor, will put it on board the Louisiana. :: VI-1-g A.L.S. French 1p. 8vo.
