Denoyel, C., Baltimore, Maryland, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1868 April 22

Odin has perhaps received the group's supplication in behalf of William Auffray and Augustin Jamet . Although his name was among the signers, he wishes to revoke any responsibility in the affair. He signed only because of the group pressure exerted on him. He feels that he has already clarified his own views on the matter in the letter written with J.M. Jouan . He hopes that the whole affair has been a lesson to them all. He assures Odin that he is ready to do all that depends upon him to satisfy him. :: VI-2-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
