De la Croix, Father Cyril, Iberville, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1862 March 2

De la Croix received Odin's letter of February 25 today and he was surprised to learn what was said to him at Covington. He paid the note about which Odin speaks more than a year ago to Mr. Taylor, by C.E. Girardey of New Orleans. He encloses no enclosure the proof. As he always forgets to ask for the note when he is in New Orleans and as it will be necessary for the deed of transfer, he sends the letter so that Odin can reclaim it. This will explain why he did not carry this debt on the list. The list that he made for Odin is exact and contains all the debts which he asked Odin to take care of. The others he considers his own. If some of these people should present themselves to Odin, he asks him to give them a word of encouragement and the confidence he shows in him will give rise to a similar confidence in them. ` P.S. He asks Odin to let him keep the letter as it will be useful later. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
