Ferrus, A., Nantes, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1863 October 24

Ferrus thanks Odin for all that he did for them during the illness of his uncle Blineau. They thank the Divine Master for having admitted Blineau to Communion before appearing before Him. It is a proof of the effects of charity. They do not know the disposition of his uncle's will. If he has forgotten his sister, Mrs. Lemoine, and the Gillou children, they will be in an embarrassing extremity. Ferrus' small resources do not even suffice for the settled expenses of his house and it will be impossible to continue the sacrifices which he has made for his mother-in-law for 18 months. He asks Odin to let them know and to have someone supervise its execution . According to Mr. Carrier there was considerable value in paper of the bank of the South in his uncle's cashbox. :: VI-2-g A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
