Crebuchet, Abbé G.T., Mont-Ferrand, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., Lyons, France, 1867 October 25

If he had known that Odin was to leave France so soon he would have renewed his request sooner. On receiving Odin's letter he showed it to Father Jacquet and to the Superior. His director has only known him a month. He will permit him to leave since Crebuchet has permission from a man who knows him better than Jacquet. Crebuchet had permission last year to go with the Bishop of Santa-Fé but the Bishop could not surmount certain obstacles. The Superior will not permit him to go with Odin without authorization from Bishop Féron whom he cannot see until Tuesday. Féron may place an obstacle in his way as Crebuchet is deeply indebted to him for many favors. Father Desjardin, Superior of the Seminary, has given him hope that Féron will not collect the money owed for his board at college, but he may think he should repay by staying in the diocese. Crebuchet asks Odin to ask his Bishop. :: VI-2-m A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
