Cuny, Father F. Christophe, New York, New York, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1863 October 7

A good part of Cuny's family lives in America and they planned to meet there. About three months ago he landed at New York planning to leave for New Orleans where he has a brother who is a brewer. However, his brother wrote advising him to come only in October. He went for the interval to Huntington to give French lessons in a rich family and commissioned his brother to tell Odin of his desire to join his clergy. His brother is awaiting Odin's reply. Cuny renews his request directly and will furnish papers and information which will leave no doubt about his good standing in the diocese of Nancy. ` P.S. His address in New York is at Peter Back's photographer. :: VI-2-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
