Gibson, William, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1834 March 1

Identifier: CVIN IV-3-i

Scope and Contents

If Tornatore has received any information from Europe relative to the branch of St. Mary's College expected here, he is to communicate it by return of the bearer. Gibson has made offers to give land, etc., but if his offer be of no avail, several persons are anxious to purchase. Gibson intends to lay about 50 arpents off in town lots in case a branch is sent here. If this is an objection, he will dispose of all the land to Tornatore. He intends to leave here next week. He continues to ask $2000 for the land from Mr. Vallé and were a survey made he would be compelled to give more. Gibson's proposition of $500 to the seminary and land with a lot on the river would be lost by a sale to them. In case Tornatore wants the whole tract, Gibson's subscription of $500 will be deducted which will make the property to Tornatore at $1500., P.S. If it is known that the seminary will be located on the land, Vallé would enlarge his offers but Gibson will not accept them. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
