Favre, S.M., Father J., Lyons, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1865 March 24

In writing the other day to announce the departure of the missionaries Favre forgot something essential because he thought Father F. Bellanger, S.M. had talked sufficiently about it, but he had not. It is about the expenses of the trip which they cannot assume because of financial embarrassment. They must defer the new sending until they receive help from the Propagation of the Faith. But Odin must ask to have the funds given to the Superior General of the Society of Mary. Odin is to write that he has asked for six missionaries and of his need. :: VI-2-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
