Scope and Contents After receiving the letter from the brother, Delacroix wrote to Mrs. Duval of Covington not to have any changes made in the house and to leave it. She had the privilege of purchasing it during the year's lease, but far from taking advantage of it, she did not even pay the rent. He has not made any deed of sale with her nor has he authorized anyone to do so. He thinks his letter will suffice. However, if Odin believes it to be necessary for him to make the trip, he will do so on Monday. ::...

Scope and Contents The paternal goodness with which Odin replied to Delafosse's letter doubled the ardor of his desires. He would like to be in the middle of that vast district. He must admit that God's moments have not yet arrived; however, he has taken new steps. He had placed his last hope in a personal intervention by Odin with Father Pétètot, C.O. but since Odin has not judged it proper to do so he has been forced to act alone. Despite new and recent refusals, he has renewed his requests with so much...

Delafosse has drawn up a biographical notice to be inserted in the religious weekly of Rennes. The Archbishop has put it in a pastoral letter. Delafosse will send several copies to...

Scope and Contents Delafosse has learned by the newspaper of Vannes that Odin is now in that city in the interests of his mission. He cannot doubt that he is there for money and for priests. He has no money to offer. He would like to offer his person but he is not free; he is in a congregation. It does not have vows, but Providence led him there and he would rather die than take a step outside of holy obedience. He has more than once exposed his desire to Father Pététot who always replied that he sees in him a...

Scope and Contents His Archbishop spoke to him of Edwards' request as he knew that Bishop Celestine De la Hailandiere had appointed Delafosse to execute his will. Delafosse gave most of the Bishop's insignia to the Bishop's relatives. He kept one of his albs for himself. Edwards had better write to Father E. Audran, Jeffersonville, Indiana, who is a nephew of the Bishop and has several of his vestments. If Audran is not willing, Delafosse will send Edwards the alb. It is now seventeen years since Delafosse...

In order to finish their church, they have decided to have another fair on January 18. She thought that perhaps the ladies of New Orleans might come to their aid.

She believes that Father Paul Guerard, assisted by two other priests, would succeed in setting up a college; everyone here desires to see it. The house next to them could be...

Scope and Contents A Methodist minister, whose name is Craz, she believes, has been here for two weeks and already several members of their church have joined these fanatics. 36 new members have joined this church. The children and servants go to attend these theatrical exhibitions. The most zealous Catholics go out of curiosity, they say. Their good pastor does not have the grace to fight against this fanatic, who they say, has extraordinary eloquence. They ask Blanc to send one of the best preachers for some...

Scope and Contents Delahoussaye wrote several days ago about the danger threatening them. Today new details have reached him.

Delahoussaye? and several others have decided to make a trip throughout their parish to collect the necessary money. They are waiting for the sale of the pews which Mr. Black had turned over to the creditors of the church. If this sum does not...

Scope and Contents Delahoussaye has been asked by his mother, Mrs. Ursin Perret and other Catholic ladies to write to Blanc. Several weeks ago when Father Nicholas Francais called on them in Blanc's name, he told them that Blanc would send them a new priest on condition that they collect a sum sufficient for all his needs. Steps were taken immediately, a room was rented and funds are available for his board. Francais said he had written to Blanc but had no reply. The church has no debts and as soon as the...

Scope and Contents Having decided to leave Franklin Delahoussaye wishes to sell their property. Father Nicholas Francais says that Blanc has talked of establishing a community of Sisters at Franklin and Delahoussaye believes that his house would suit very well. They have received an offer from the Episcopal minister but it would pain him to see a Protestant school across from their church. He offers his property for 6000 piastres. Francais has adjoining property and says he will sell it at a bargain in order...
