Maxwell, Father (James)
St. Genevieve, (Missouri)

to (Father Pierre Joseph Didier, O.S.B.
St. Louis, Missouri?)

Having published the banns and found no impediment against Patrice (Patrick?) Lee and Constance Conde, (Didier?) may receive their marriage vows and give them the nuptial blessing even though the Church forbids it when there is question of some one already married or guilty of public fornication, since Miss Conde cannot be considered guilty of either. He awaits Mr. Zenon (Trudeau?) to go with him to St. Louis.
