Larnaudie, S.J., Father Frederick, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1861 November 13

One of his parishioners wishes to marry his sister-in-law. He lost his wife seven or eight months ago and has five children, the oldest of whom is only eight. He has no one to take care of his family and cannot pay a servant. If Odin cannot write in time for the answer to arrive by next Sunday, he asks him to telegraph his answer. :: VI-2-e A.L.S.
