Laughran, Francis, Carlow College, Ireland, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 May 22

Laughran desires to join Odin's mission and resign his title to the diocese of Arkansas. The late Bishop Andrew Byrne promised to forward expenses and Laughran did not get them. He is at present a subdeacon. During vacation he will be stopping with Father P. Laughran, Armagh. He is not able to remain at Carlow owing to the death of his Father last year. The vicar general can give Odin permission to take Laughran about July 10 as the late Bishop will then be dead a year. :: VI-2-h A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
