Dubuis, Claude Marie, Bishop of Galveston, Lyons, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1866 June 6

Mrs. Odin and the Misses Josephine and Benoite are well and welcomed him like a brother. Jean Claude Odin? dropped everything to take them all to Pradine where they found Miss Cecile taller than her aunts. After dividing his time equally between Lespinasse and Coutouvre Dubuis arrived in Lyons where he found Father Stephen Rousselon only this morning. His brother, Father Henry Rousselon , chaplain at St. Philomena's has had to leave his chapel and hunt obscure lodgings and Dubuis' traveling companion was forced to go to the hotel. Then he went to spend several days at Grigny with his brother who is dying. All this has had a bad effect on Rousselon; Dubuis does not believe that he can ever return to his post. This morning Rousselon, fearing he could not go at the time appointed, asked Dubuis to express his regret at being so far away from Odin. They send regards to Fathers Perchè, Cambioza and all their friends. Next Monday Dubuis must set out for Rome. The Cardinal and directors of the seminary wish to be remembered to Odin. :: VI-2-k A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
