Scope and Contents

Two Sisters of the Incarnate Word have arrived from Europe on their way to Brownsville. A young Mexican lady destined for the same convent is also ready to go with them. The steamboat which made the trip between New Orleans and Brazos Santiago no longer comes here. So they must go to New Orleans.They will leave the 21st and arrive at New Orleans on Saturday morning. In case Father E. Vignolle is no longer in New Orleans, Rousselon is to send some one on board the steamer to accompany them to some convent which will give them hospitality. They will leave for Brownsville the 28th. Odin believes it is the day Nautilus goes. Odin would keep them here until the 24th but they would be on the way on Christmas day. Odin hopes to pay a short visit to Rousselon at the end of January. :: VI-1-h A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
