Brown, Father H.V., Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1868 March 23

He received Odin's letter and the two cases of wine. He is almost sorry he brought the matter of the seminarian's expenses to Odin's attention, but he thanks him anyway. He asks if Odin has need of an Irish priest who came to this country for his health. He is about 30 years of age, very intelligent, and a good preacher. He has been in Tennessee about 16 months. In consequence of some misunderstanding, he wishes to leave the diocese. He is not under any censure or accused of any crime, and Bishop John P. Feehan will give him satisfactory credentials. Brown believes the man is worthy of confidence. :: VI-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
