Letilly, Peter M.F., Grand Seminary of, Rennes, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of New Orleans, Lyons, France, 1863 January 5

Letilly wishes to know if, being a soldier, he can be among the workers that Odin is taking in a few days. He cannot leave the seminary to go and see his family until he is morally certain that the difficulty will be eliminated. His superiors have advised him to keep his departure secret even from his colleagues. If the reply is negative he wishes to catch up in the different classes that he has neglected in order to complete his theology. ` P.S. All his colleagues wish to know what they should bring and whether they will have to pay for the trip from Rennes to Paris. It will be almost impossible for him to pay for it. :: VI-2-g A.L.S.
