Odin, Bishop John Mary, Galveston, Texas, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1857 April 11

Odin has just received Blanc's letter of the 8th and learns with pleasure of the nomination for Natchez and the approval of the decrees. Odin hopes that Blanc will find in his desk the copies of the letter written to the Pope and to the Cardinal Prefect. Bishop Martin was to write the latter; he could not and Blanc asked Odin to write it. After the Council, Blanc asked for copies. Odin had them transcribed; when he returned to Galveston he sent them to Blanc who acknowledged receipt of them. If the copies are not found, Odin will have them transcribed again. The two Sisters Ursulines arrived safely. :: VI-1-l A.L.S. French 1p. 12mo.
