Le Rebours, Father A., Paris, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of New Orleans, Paris, France, 1863 January 21

Father Th. Alleau told him last evening of his embarrassing position. Le Rebours' is even greater. Odin wishes Alleau to leave for New Orleans at the beginning of February and to cancel his promise to preach for Lent at Epernay. Le Rebours had been asked by the pastor of Epernay to negotiate this matter with Alleau who promised after having consulted Odin. It will be impossible to find another now. He asks Odin to permit Alleau to delay his departure until after Easter. :: VI-2-g A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
