Moreau, C.S.C., Father Basil Anthony, Le Mans, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of New Orleans, Rennes, France, 1862 November 13

Learning that Odin plans to visit them next Sunday, Moreau asks the precise hour of his arrival at the station in order to send a carriage. By reason of the news of Odin's arrival he has just countermanded the departure of one of their priests Father Florent, C.S.C. for New Orleans. He was to leave from Bordeaux on the 28th to rejoin Father Patrick F. Sheil, C.S.C. and to replace the miserable Father Nicholas Dessenon who has toyed with them so much. ` P.S. He warns the superior of the Grand Seminary of Rennes, where Odin now is, that the subdeacon about whom there had been a question before Odin as having been ordained in the Congregation of the Holy Cross, had never been presented by Moreau to any bishop. This observation was prompted by the conversation he had with Father Th. Alleau who announced Odin's arrival. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
