Odin, John Mary, Archbishop of New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father Constantine Maenhaut, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 December?

Last Friday, the Archbishop's Council had to consider a complaint made by the assistants at the Cathedral. According to their statement, the fee for burials, funeral services, and baptisms is divided between the pastor and the assistants but the latter have no part of the fee from marriages, or solemn or votive sung Masses. This arrangement does not seem just to them. Maenhaut is to inform Odin in virtue of what episcopal order the pastor of the Cathedral reserves for himself the fees for marriages and sung Masses Performed by the assistants. :: VI-2-h A.
