Odin, John Mary, Archbishop of, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father Constantine Maenhaut, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 December 9

Before replying to Maenhaut's letter of the 7th Odin wished to submit it to the Archdiocesan Council. In Maenhaut's letter of November 23 he says that in order to avoid future difficulties he asks Odin to make out a tariff in which the rights of the pastor and those of the assistants are clearly stated. In order to do so Odin asked Maenhaut to inform him of the practice followed up to now at the Cathedral concerning Masses and marriages. Maenhaut has not deigned to answer. Instead Maenhaut send in his resignation. Odin accepts it and asks him to let him know on what day his replacement can take over his function., First Draft. :: VI-2-h A. Draft French 2pp. 12mo.
