Faure, Father John A., St. Etienne, France, to Bishop Claude Marie Dubuis?, 1867 November 2

Before leaving San Antonio, Father Andrew Farges gave him $40 to purchase religious articles. He has written Mr. Briday to send what Farges wants. Vincent Fau will put the package in his trunk or some other seminarian can take charge of it. It seems that Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. is paying the expenses of a young Alsatian about 15 or 16 who has said that if he had 800 francs like Vincent, he would leave without Odin and on arriving at New Orleans would be free. The person hearing this thought Odin should be informed. The young Alsatian has a sister placed in the Visitation convent here by a Jesuit who seems interested in the family. Faure wishes Dubuis a good voyage and himself a prompt recovery from his terrible bodily and mental sickness. If Dubuis does not already know, Father John Gonnard is dead of yellow fever. :: VI-2-m A.L.S. French and English 3pp. 12mo.
