Larnaudie, S.J., Father Frederick, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 November 24

Larnaudie sends Odin a letter which he is writing to the General; a word from Odin will perhaps add some weight. Odin is to send it on to the General if he sees fit. One of the representatives in the Legislature presented a bill for the relief of St. Joseph's Church in Baton Rouge; it has already passed the first reading and there is hope it may go through. The accounts of his church will be ready for the end of the year but he will not be able to send anything else. His poor parish is limping along; the demoralization grows day by day. A. DeLaroderie died October 25. Larnaudie finds his duties a little heavy; only rarely can he see one of his confreres. :: VI-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
