Odin, C.M., John Mary, Archbishop-elect of New Orleans, Galveston, Texas, to Father Joseph Querat, Refugio, Texas, 1861 May 14
Item
Identifier: CANO VI-2-d
Scope and Contents
On April 19 he received from Rome the Apostolic letters transferring him to New Orleans. Notwithstanding his great reluctance, persons whom he has consulted make acceptance an imperative duty. Thus, though so unfit, so incapable and so far advanced in years, he must go to occupy a see the responsibility of which has always terrified him. It is very painful for him to separate from the priests and religious communities of Texas. It is very painful to leave Texas where he has spent upwards of 20 years. Father Louis C.M. Chambodut has been appointed administrator of the diocese. :: VI-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
