Dubuis, Claude Marie, Bishop of Galveston, San Antonio, Texas, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 June 30

Father Charles Padey is leaving in a few hours and Mr. Nelson must be prepared for death. All Dubuis; travelers arrived alive and not even tired after so long a way on foot. The titles for the convent at Liberty have been freed from all uncertainty through the efforts of Judge A.P. Thompson. Despite the difficulty of the times their religious establishments are holding their own. Padey will give Odin the Texas news and tell him of the magnificent harvest as they have had more rain than they have ever seen. Dubuis wants Father Amandus Kramer, O.S.B. to get Odin's advice before seeing the Abbot of the monastery. Dubuis sends greetings to Fathers Perché, Rousselon and Chalon. :: VI-2-h A.L.S.
