Larnaudie, S.J., Father Frederick, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1862 January 24

Today Larnaudie had a visit from the pastor of West Baton Rouge to whom he spoke of Odin's pastoral visit. He said he had not yet received any letter on that subject and that he had scarcely the time to prepare the children in the space of two or three weeks. Larnaudie fears there has been some misunderstanding and that Odin presumed he would warn the four neighboring pastors. He seeks a dispensation from the impediment of disparitatis cultus between Clark Sherby, a Methodist, and Julia Price, both colored. If he does not receive any counter-order he will continue to prepare his children for the 9th. P.S. Sunday they will have a meeting about the affairs of their church. He forgot to ask Sherby if he had been baptized and cannot do so before the day of the ceremony, but he believes that he has been. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
