Odin, C.M., Father John Mary, Florence, Italy, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1834 August 19
Scope and Contents
At Rome Odin made the acquaintance of the Baroness de Milange, a French lady exiled on account of her attachment to the royal family. She has a land claim to get confirmed in Arkansan territory. She asks Odin to beg Timon to see who could be entrusted with that business. Mr. Kane of Kaskaskias might do it. The letter of attorney is sent to Timon to delegate whom he chooses. The Baroness is in poor circumstances on account of the revolution. She has always been at the head of all good works in Europe. If the claim is confirmed the greatest part will be left for religious purposes. Timon is to send the enclosed receipt to Father Anthony Blanc; he will write Blanc in a few days. Brother Capaldo, C.M. is a very trusty person; perhaps it would be well to give him the care of the refectory and the keys of the cellar. Timon is to try to have the novitiate house prepared somewhere; Odin will try to carry a good sum of money and as many subjects as possible., P.S. Timon is to write to persons in Louisiana to get information about Dumarest Armurier at Attakapas who is a brother of a priest superior of the Seminary of Verrières. If he writes soon Odin might receive the answer before leaving France and would oblige that excellent priest. A.L.S. On the same paper:
