Odin, C.M., Bishop John Mary, Assumption, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 October 25

Odin has just received Blanc's letter of the 20th. He will leave tomorrow for St. Michael. He had promised Father J.M. Masnou, C.M . to preach at Donaldson on All Saints Day and the next day. As Masnou is counting on him, Odin has asked Father P.J. Doutre luingne, C.M . to come and spend the feast days at St. Michael and Tuesday evening after hearing the confessions of the Ladies Odin will go to Donaldson. Thursday evening Odin will return to the convent. Odin has learned with sorrow of the continuation of the worry Blanc is experiencing. But to give in to these blind and evil men would be to gain nothing. Doutreluingne has been ill; he seems well enough now. Everything is going as well as can be desired. On the back of the letter is written: Mr. Gifford :: V-4-o A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
