Jacobina de N.D., Mother Mary, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1863 April 1

The School Sisters of Notre Dame welcome him upon his return, but regret to hear of his illness. On Easter Monday their chapel in St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum burying ground will be dedicated. This change in the mind of Father Maximus Leimgruber, C.SS.R. they cannot account for because it has occurred so suddenly. He wishes to let them have Mass Holy Thursday in their convent and asylum chapels, but he says this cannot be done without Odin's permission and adds that he wants to know if this permission extends for future years. :: VI-2-g A.L.S.
