Chambodut, Father Louis Claude Marie, Galveston, Texas, to Father Etienne Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisianaa, 1854 November 9

Father Peter M. Lacour gave Chambodut the 30 ordos Rousselon sent and the letter. He will have the 24 Masses said. He is expecting Bishop John Mary Odin any day. The last time he wrote Odin was in San Antonio, but he gave no details of his trip. Their priests have almost all been ill this year. The convent Ursulines is doing well; they need two more teachers for English and could dispense with two for French. If Rousselon could persuade Mother Ste. Seraphine, Ray, R.u. to send them two Americans they would give up one or two French. :: VI-1-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
