Kenny, Thomas, St. Vincent's College, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of New Orleans, Lyons, France, 1862 December 15

Kenny wrote shortly after Odin had been installed in New Orleans and requested him to receive him into the diocese. He once again beseeches him, if he has not already done so to affiliate him to the diocese. He hopes to learn by the return of their Visitor Ggeneral, Father Stephen V. Ryan, C.M., that his request has been granted. His health is good and he is pursuing his studies with as much assiduity as possible. He need not tell Odin that he is happy, as he is aware he knows if it were otherwise that the Lazarists would remove the cause of his troubles. :: VI-2-f A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
