In his last letter to their Superior, Father John Baptist Tornatore C.M., Odin promised to write to Timon. He had to visit their seminary at Amiens and college at Mont Didier at the request of their Superior General. The seminary of Amiens was built by the Vincentians some time before the French Revolution. It is superior to any of the kind in France. It accommodates 300 students. It surpasses everything even at Lyons. Odin spoke a great deal to the Bishop of Amiens, the priests, and students, about America and to the Sisters of Charity, who have five beautiful houses in that city. All their confreres at Amiens wish to see the American province united to and depending from their house in Paris. then they will be assisted and strengthened. Their college at Mont Didier is numerous and flourishing. They follow the American plan of education. Odin addressed the young men and spoke about America. There are two houses of Sisters of Charity at Mont Didier. Today a letter came from the seminary of St. Flour saying that many young seminarians wish to go to America. There are 23 novices at present. Father Etienne, C.M. has written to Spain and Poland for some members. In Europe they knew nothing of America but the scandals of Louisiana and many of their confreres who asked to go to America refused because of the dangers apprehended in this country. Odin has removed the bad impression. Etienne told him that if they gave $1000 a year he would train young men and as soon as they made their vows they would be sent to America. Odin told Etienne he was sure all would agree and promised the yearly sum. Odin relates a circumstance three years ago during the novena of St. Vincent de Paul. A Sister of Charity on going every day to their house saw the heart of St. Vincent and heard a voice saying that he was exceedingly grieved by the evils of France. After the novena a voice told her that St. Vincent was a little consoled. This Sister also had a vision of the Blessed Virgin telling her to have a medal struck the Miraculous Medal. After 18 months the Sister's confessor spoke to the Archbishop. The medal has been struck and wonderful conversions and cures have been obtained. Father Aladèle, the confessor, related the whole story to Odin. Father Boullangier, the Superior of the house, was miraculously cured by that instrument of devotion.

The fear of a dreadful war is entertained everywhere. Sundays are spent in a shocking way in Paris. The Archbishop of Paris made a beautiful sermon to raise funds for the orphans whose parents died of the cholera. Those children are all under the care of their Sisters of Charity. Odin sends his compliments to Fathers Tornatore, Olivier, Paquin, Wiseman, Loisel, Brands, and to all the seminarians and students at the college, and to the Brothers and Sisters. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 8pp. 4to.
