Lemagie, Father Charles L., Brookville, Pennsylvania, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1866 December 17

As soon as he left New Orleans, to go to Belgium in April, he regretted it and regretted not having asked Odin for another place after leaving Carrollton. When he showed the Bishop of Ghent his exeat, the Bishop did not want to receive him. Being at the Redemptorists in New York before his departure for Belgium, he took advantage of an offer from a priest of the Erie diocese and he was immediately sent to the mission where he now is. After 2 months he continued his trip to Belgium, but not being accepted, he returned here in November. The priest assigned in his place had prepared the basement of the church for a dwelling. After 6 weeks the Bishop suspended this priest. Lemagie cannot stay in this basement because of his rheumatism. He asks Odin to receive him again. :: VI-2-l A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
