Nash, James P., Galveston, Texas, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1866 July 26

After his visit to New Orleans, he found family and friends all in good health. The trip was accomplished in 36 hours. The receding view of New Orleans makes the traveler see that it is eminently Catholic from the lofty spires. He asks Odin to thank the priests who received him with such attention, especially Father J. Hayden, the priests at St. Vincent Seminary, and Fathers Moynahan and Sheehan. He wrote Father T. Bermingham containing a small offering for his mission directed to Odin's care. Nathan Smith acknowledged Odin's favor with tears; he will soon be in his new house. He has rented his cottage for $40 gold and received six months rent in advance. Nash would like to know how Thomas O'Donnell 's health is at present. :: VI-2-l A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
