Scope and Contents

About 5 years ago Auffray received a letter from Denis?; he was then a student in the sixth form but as a Breton and as a Pontifical Zouave, he aspired to a higher sphere. On hearing that Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. was to be at St. Brieuc he offered himself as one of his coworkers and his letter was delivered to Odin at Lyons. Then Auffray received a letter from Denis?, dated December 2, 1862 and one from Odin dated the 16th advising him to defer his going as he was too young; he was 18. Since then he has been at the seminary and made part of his theology. While waiting another occasion to devote himself to the American missions, he has been in the world. He has been a teacher and now is Assistant Director of a preparatory school. He asks Denis? to speak either to Bishop Claude Marie Dubuis Dupuis of Galveston or to Odin who is to be at Lyons June 10. :: VI-2-m A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
