Faure, Father J.A., San Antonio, Texas, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1862 March 3

Faure has been requested by Ignacio Cassiano to make Odin the following proposition. Cassiano is sorely in need of money. He can sell land but he would prefer to get a part of the money which the diocese owes him. He wants $700 or $800 in silver and will take 75% on the dollar. Faure asks what he should do. All his colleagues are well. The Ursulines and Brothers of Mary also. They have had no good rain since October and are threatened with a great famine. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
