Elder, William Henry, Bishop of Natches, Jackson, Mississippi, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1861 April 2

If it is not too late he asks Rousselon to apologize for him to the exiled Bishop from Mexico. He did not know they had come until about 2 weeks ago and then he understood they had departed again. Only last night after his arrival at Jackson did he learn from Father Francis Pont that probably they were still at New Orleans. Had he known of their arrival he would have gone if possible to meet them and he would do so even now if it would serve to alleviate their affliction. Pont tells him that they intend leaving New Orleans after Easter but if they should remain longer he hopes they will visit Natchez and accept his hospitality. :: VI-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
