Molina, Father Vicente Ros de, Vera Cruz, Mexico, to The Secretary of Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1866 December 24

Molina asks to be admitted to the diocese for the care of souls or for any other work the Bishop could use him for. He is Spanish, ordained for the diocese of Osma. He remained in Puerto Rico over two years and it is over two months since he came to Vera Cruz whose unhealthy climate, constant wars and especially the persecution of the clergy have made him look for another place. The good reports of the country and the qualities of the present prelate have made Molina prefer this diocese. He has all the required documents. :: VI-2-l A.L.S. Spanish 2pp. 12mo.
