He asks counsel on a matter which his father will lay before Odin. The Convention will be carried into effect on December 15. As a Catholic he espouses the cause of the Holy Father and asks his parents' permission to enter the Pontifical Zouaves or any other corps of Papal troops Odin might suggest.
