Denavit, Father, Lyons, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of New Orleans, _____, 1862 November 7

They now have Bishop Claude Marie Dubuis, C.M.. He communicated Odin's letter to him. Dubuis believes that Cardinal Barnabo's brief is sufficient and he believes that it would be actually more difficult to perform the consecration in America. Bishop Armand Francis Maurice de Charbonnel who was to assist, is free only until the 23rd; he is going to preach Advent far from Lyons. It will be necessary to address another bishop. Bishop John Paul Francis Felix Lyonnet, who is at Paris, wrote that he would come with pleasure at Odin's invitation. The ceremony is fixed for November 23. The Superior Father Duplay to whom he read Barnabo's letter is of this sentiment. He advised Denavit to write Lyonnet who cold consult the nuncio at Paris. Dubuis spoke yesterday to the Community in favor of the mission of New Orleans; he said nothing of Texas. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
