"1865 Mar 1

"Quérat, Father J(oseph)
Refugio, (Texas)

"To Archbishop (John Mary Odin, C.M.
New Orleans, Louisiana)

"Quérat was about to be changed from Refugio but his parishioners made up so strong a petition that Bishop (Claude Marie) Dubuis yielded to their wish. Because of his health, Quérat would have preferred a little more rest but he is satisfied. His neighbor at Corpus (Christi) is Father (John) Gonnard who has a large school. Gonnard purchased two brick houses near the church for a school; one for boys and one for girls.

"P.S. (Odin) is to forward the attached letter to Mrs. Marsh, daughter of Mrs. Gregory De Lamar and niece of Charles Byrne who lives in New Orleans.

VI-2-j A.L.S. (French) 1p. 4to. 6"
