Harrison, R.U., Mother St. Pierre, Galveston, Texas, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 June 15

She takes the occasion afforded by Mrs. Winifred McDonnell to send back Miss Murphy to her parents. In spite of all their care she cannot write correctly but she learns her religion well and is pious and good. Mother sends $38 received in 1864 for the Association of the Holy Childhood which she asks Odin to send to Father F. Daniel, the director at Montreal. If Mrs. McDonnell spent some of this for Miss Murphy's trip, Mrs. Coffée will reimburse Odin. They gave 172 pupils. Many were ill this spring; two died. St. Pierre is approaching the end of her superiorship with joy; it is a terrible burden to carry. Odin is to tell Mr. Devereux that she gave Miss Murphy a letter for his family whom st. Pierre esteems as her own. Devereux was a good Father to her. Odin is also to tell Mrs. Coffée that she owes them nothing; all is paid and St. Pierre will give her little daughter $170 in Confederate notes which remained to her credit. ` P.S. Odin is to send them a dozen French catechisms. :: VI-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
