Faure, Father J.A., San Antonio, Texas, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1865 May 3

He was happy to receive Odin's letter brought by Mr. Deschavane? who also brought letters and a package for Mr. Baron. He sent everything to Houston with Mr. Francis Giraud. Father Stephen Buffard arrived last week as did Sister St. Claude, R.U.?. Bishop Claude Mary Dubuis was there for a few weeks; he is now en route to Roma and Brownsville. Dubuis received a package of letters from France through Father Peter Berthet, including one from Mr. Certes announcing his allocation for 1864. Father Louis Chambodut and Father Joseph Anstaett are in good health. Faure is always ailing. On Easter Dubuis confirmed six adults converted in Faure's church. He asks Odin to forward some letters. Poor Marcellite is sad because of the death of her niece; she thanks Odin for the loan. :: VI-2-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
