Odin, Bishop John Mary, Galveston, Texas, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 November 22

Odin returned to Galveston at the end of last week and received Blanc's letters of November 6 and 18. It will be difficult for him to be in New Orleans for December 4 but he will try to be. He thinks it will be impossible for him to give the allocution in French of which Blanc spoke in his last letter; he caught cold on his pastoral visits and can hardly speak. If he recovers his voice and Blanc can get no one else, he will try to do it. The yellow fever has hardly disappeared from Galveston; there were three deaths yesterday. :: VI-2-b A.L.S.
