Elder, William Henry, Bishop of, Natchez, Mississippi, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1867 March 5

Odin's letter of February 19 reached Elder day before yesterday. Father Constantin Vandemoere for got to give it to him while he was here. Elder would certainly be glad to save $60 by taking an English steamer rather than the French. John B. Quegles desires to go with them. Elder wrote to Bishop John McGill to Odin's care. Odin's previous letter concerning the church at Osyka, Mississippi was received. Elder wrote to the lady and to Father John Scollard of Jackson wrote mentioning that Picherit was still continuing his visits to Amite and that he had begun collecting for a church. Picherit replied to Elder that he had not been there for the last 7 or 8 months and that in 1866 a man of Osyka got some subscriptions for the church at Amite but they were never paid. :: VI-2-m A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
