Lesne, Adelaide Née David, Lyons, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of New Orleans, Aix-les-Bains, France, 1862 August 13

Yesterday Father Dutil, assistant at St. Paul, came to tell Madame Lesne of the death of her brother-in-law, Father James Lesne, at New Orleans. This news had been communicated to him by Father Philibert Gutton, his successor. Dutil also made known to her Odin's visit to Lyons. She quickly went to the Grand Seminary but she learned there that Odin is at the spa. She hopes to talk with him to learn what measures she will have to take to safeguard the interests of her children who are Lesne's only heirs. Therefore, she asks him to let her know when he will pass through Lyons again. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
