Murphy, S.J., Father William S., New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1866 May 28

Father John Mehlmann has brought a letter from the German Fathers of St. Louis recommending him highly for zeal without concealing his weakness for beer. He has been advised to go to Galveston and present himself to the Vicar General. Bishop John M. Henni of Milwaukee has given him his exeat and has promised to write to the vicar general. Mean while Murphy commends the applicant to Odin. It is probable that a free passage could be obtained on a government transport as in other cases. :: VI-2-k A.L.S. 1p. 4to.
