Delacroix, Father Cyril, St. Gabriel, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1862 February 4

After receiving the letter from the brother, Delacroix wrote to Mrs. Duval of Covington not to have any changes made in the house and to leave it. She had the privilege of purchasing it during the year's lease, but far from taking advantage of it, she did not even pay the rent. He has not made any deed of sale with her nor has he authorized anyone to do so. He thinks his letter will suffice. However, if Odin believes it to be necessary for him to make the trip, he will do so on Monday. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. French 1p. 12mo.
