Faure, Father J.A., San Antonio, Texas, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1861 September 16

The other day Firmin Cassiano asked him to pay the interest owed by Odin on the sum lent him by his Father because his Father was sick in Eagle Pass and he had to go see him. He paid him and took his receipt. The money used was: $40 which Father Matthew Sarry had for Odin, $42 which he had obtained for dispensations; $2.50 for Propagation of Faith; $8,50 of Sarry's church money which he marked to the account Sarry owes Odin; $5.00 money on hand; $190 borrowed from Brother Andrew M. Edel, S.M. which he requested that Odin pay on his account to A. Poincy, his supplier in New Orleans. Sarry who had gone to take thermal baths at Montclouva has returned with improved health. Bishop Joaquin Madrid left last Wednesday for Laredo to wait for a pass from Santiago Vidaurri to go to Monterey. He will soon get it if Faure is to believe the report brought by Sarry. Madrid's health has failed very much at San Antonio and he could not stand it any longer. His sermons have done a great deal of good. All is quiet. The convent and college have plenty of scholars. :: VI-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.
