Scope and Contents
Odin will find in this envelope a letter dated February 14 which Ferry wrote to Father Francis M. Marion and the copy of Marion's reply. Odin will see that Ferry has been the victim of a quarrel about nothing. Because of his citation of a verse from Voltaire Marion accuse him of blasphemy and makes him look like the insulted instead of the insulted. Ferry at first intended to publish the letters but he thought it wiser to write to Odin. Marion is very young, Ferry's oldest son who has been fighting for his country for three years, is older than he. Marion lacks charity and humility. ` A.L.S. ` On the same paper:
