Kilroy, John, St. Louis, Missouri, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1861 June 29

He acknowledges receipt of Odin's letter of May 1 containing the draft on P. Rotchford for $160, the full amount he deposited in Father Stephen Mackin's care. He wrote prior to receiving the letter but the interruption of the mail to the South prevented its transmission. He now writes by Adam's Express which he believes is the only mode of conveyance. He received $60 on the draft at the banking house of Benoist and Co. and they promised to collect the balance in his favor. :: VI-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
