Grignon, Father Mathurin F., Natchez, Mississippi, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 June 1

He profits by the opportunity of the same lady who brought Odin's favor of the 28th; she is an old acquaintance of Grignon. Bishop William Henry Elder has not yet returned. He was to be at Yazoo City on Trinity Sunday and start home via Canton and Jackson. In Jackson he expected to meet the Sisters of Mercy on their way to Vicksburg. Only half of the Sisters came; the others remained at the same hospital. They have not yet been able to get possession of their own house. Father Charles Heuzé stopped on his way to Vicksburg. In reference to the Office and Mass of the Immaculate Conception, Grignon is not now prepared to specify the size or number of copies. The fire was not precisely opposite the church but in front of their house on the other side of the street. :: VI-2-h A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
