Kane, Father Richard, Franklin, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Iberia, Louisiana, 1868 September 2

He received Odin's letter of the 29th; he is not worry about the land sale at Pattersonville . While there both Mr. Charpantier and Mr. Brossard spoke to him on the subject and agreed that one of them would attend the sale. The lot is not the one on which the church is built. It was bought before the war from a Mr. Nash. Two of the three notes given Nash have been paid but the inhabitants could not pay the third. On the strength of Odin's letter, Kane will attend the sale himself. Odin will be happy to know that Charpantier has severed all connections with freemasonry . Kane promises Odin accommodations at the hotel during his visit. Father Claude Favre Faivre of Thibodaux has also promised to come. He could not get the children at Pattersonville ready in time for their first Communion. :: VI-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
