Henry, Sub-deacon, Grand Seminary of Quimper, Finistere, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of New Orleans, Lyons, France, 1862 November 19

Henry still intends to accompany Odin to America. He has obtained the consent of his spiritual director and one of these days he should be receiving the authorization of the bishop. He wishes to know the time of departure because next week he is liable to be called to pass to the diaconate. If he is to leave around Christmas or the first of the year, it would be useless to have his banns published because he wishes to go to spend several days with his family before leaving. If the rendezvous is to take place at Paris or elsewhere, he will not have the money to go that far; he hesitates to ask it of his brothers and sisters who are not rich. He assures him that he will not be the only one from the seminary of Quimper to accompany him; there are two or three others who believe themselves sure of following him. :: VI-2-f A.L.S.
