Chambodut, Father Louis C.M., Galveston, Texas, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 October 16

Their common friend, Father Anthony Thèves, is on his way to Buffalo where he intends to stay. This is to certify that whilst in Galveston he made himself very useful and it is with sincere regret that Chambodut sees him go away. He hopes Thèves will be welcomed by Bishop John Timon of Buffalo. Bishop John Mary Odin is on the frontier and Chambodut has not heard from his for more than six weeks. He begins to feel very uneasy about him. The new convent is going up slowly. The weather has stopped the work several times. The yellow fever is abating fast. :: VI-1-h A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
