Odin returned from Washington yesterday. He was pleased to see the Capital of the United States. Georgetown College is remarkable for size, location, and cleanliness. Father Thomas Mulledy accompanied Odin everywhere. Odin met Father August Jeanjean just arriving from New York. A priest from Lyons accompanied Jeanjean; he is destined to open a Seminary in Louisiana. Everybody had expected to salute Jeanjean as Bishop of the Indians, but they have been disappointed, Jeanjean remonstrated on the impracticality of it and the Pope acceded. He is to see what could be done. Timon will see Jeanjean at the Seminary before he returns to Louisiana. Father Boué is anxious to visit their seminary. All the Bishops have arrived except Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget who will not come and Bishop Michael Portier who is expected hourly. The council will convene shortly. They do not know as yet what will be discussed. It appears that it will be the appointment of new bishops and the limits of the dioceses. The Bishop of Philadelphia Henry Conwell arrived yesterday. It appears that he is opposed to Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick and that he is unwilling to relinquish the administration of his see. He is quite blind; he must be led. Odin has seen John? Kenedy and Timon's sister. Odin will go again tomorrow to pay the money he brought from Washington. Odin sends respects to Fathers Tornatore, Olivier, Paquin, Wiseman, Brands, and Loisel. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
