Faure, Father J.A., San Antonio, Texas, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1865 September 15

He asks Odin's help in tracing Harvey Cambell, son of Mrs. Cambell of San Antonio. Odin was away when he came to New Orleans and he went on to Spring Hill. He was refused and returned to the Jesuits at New Orleans who sent him to Father Aloysius Curioz, S.J. who was absent. Nothing further has been heard. Mrs. Cambell is worried; Harvey carried with him enough money for year's pension. By this time Odin will have seen Bishop Claude Marie Dubuis. Odin is to tell him that Father J.M. Bourbon died oh August 12. He was found dead, apparently of sunstroke, some fourteen miles from Laredo. His friends in Texas think of Odin with fond remembrances especially Mr. and Mrs. Twohig. The Federals behave very well; the Negroes do not know what to do with themselves. General Philip H. Sheridan visited them. Faure spoke to him about the Alamo with which Dubuis was already concerned. Sheridan replied that he would consult with General Wesley Merrit, but so far there is no news of the outcome. :: VI-2-j A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
