The letter of June 21, 1833, wherein is stated the conditions under which St. Mary's will be willing to establish a branch at Ste. Genevieve, is now before them. The sum of $10,000 is not yet fully secured by individual subscriptions. The committee held a meeting on the 9th and the following day passed the following resolution: 1. That the subscription list, amounting to about $9000 be presented to the College with an assurance that the committee... will use every exertion to aid in collecting the same;, 2. That the committee understand that the communication of June 21, 1833, does not exclude the receiving of day scholars into the institution. Many ancient French towns in this section have been endowed by the government with large tracts of land, styled "Commons," whose proceeds are to be applied for educational purposes. St. Louis gets $1500 per annum rent, those of St. Charles, $600. Ste Genevieve has as yet not received any. Valuable vacant lands in the vicinity would no doubt be granted by Congress and they agree to use all honorable means to procure the grant for this institution., Signed also by Barthlemi St. Gemme, Felix Vallé, Sebastian Ziegler, Charles C. Vallé, Joseph Bogy, and J. Sargeant, the Committee. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
