Chambodut, C.M., Father Louis, Galveston, Texas, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 November 12
Item
Identifier: CANO VI-2-b
Scope and Contents
Last week before receiving Rousselon's letter a Father Gallant, native of Montpellier and a curate at Paris for 8 years and forced to leave for his refusal to sing a Te Deum after the Battle of Solferino, arrived in Galveston without papers. Chambodut gave him hospitality while waiting for the Bishop's arrival. He has written to the Archbishop of Paris for his papers. If Rousselon knows anything about Gallant he is to let them know. The yellow fever is almost gone from Galveston. P.S. If Rousselon can get a five-foot statue of the Blessed Virgin for the Cathedral they would be obliged. Chambodut has $85 for it. :: VI-2-b A.L.S.
