Olinde, Michael, Fausse Rivière, Louisiana to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1845 September 25

Olinde's son is to be married next month. He wishes to be married by Father Jean Martin, their former pastor. Olinde last Sunday asked Father Peter Francis Beauprez, their pastor, to give him permission to write to Martin. Beauprez refused. Olinde's son, hurt by this refusal, decided to be married by a judge and have his marriage blessed by Martin the first time he saw him. Since Olinde wants the marriage to take place in church, he asks Blanc to authorize Martin to perform the ceremony. V-5-d - A.L.S. - French - 3pp. - 8vo. - {3}
