Odin, Bishop John Mary, Galveston, Texas, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 December 29

Odin received Blanc's last letter and will try to follow his instructions. Blanc did not tell him if he should preach in English or in French. Since his turn comes the day of the funeral service he thinks he should give it in English. He has written to the Superiors of the Benedictines and Oblates and invited them in Blanc's name and thinks they will attend. He sends several questions; if Blanc considers them worthy of consideration. He can think of nothing further; all seem to have been taken care of in former councils. :: VI-2-b A.L.S. French 2pp. 16mo.
