Faure, Father J.A., San Antonio, Texas, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1862 March 26

Out of the pew rent of the new church Faure paid Sister Felicity, R.U. $155. He sends her order and asks Odin to put it to the account of the new church. He has enough money left to pay Mrs, Carmen Garja. He thought it was a good use of the money as the church owes Odin. He thanks Odin for his interest in the poor priests of San Antonio. They are so afflicted by the absence of their chief pastor, by the war, by the drouth that they do not know where to turn. They have made solemn novenas. Faure is suffering very much. His health is very much broken. His nervous system is so low that he cannot bear the whistling of the air. But he cannot leave till someone takes his place. ` P.S. He encloses no enclosure a letter for Father Claude M. Dubuis, C.M. which he asks Odin to give to him when he returns to the city. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
