Larnaudie, S.J., Father Frederick, St. Joseph's Church, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1863 December 24

Larnaudie's poor church is in the same deplorable condition. The exertions of his parishioners cannot repair this sad accident. A petition for assistance, was sent to General Charles P. Stone, with the request that he present it to General Nathaniel P. Banks. After many weeks, fearing that the first letter which had been entrusted to General Cooke might have been lost, he wrote a second letter to Stone. No answer has been received. He asks Odin to mention the matter to Stone. The answer will very probably decide the fate of his poor church. :: VI-2-g A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
