Blanc, Anthony, Archbishop of, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1857 February 22
Scope and Contents
Blanc has received the circular and prospectus of the contemplated American College at Louvain . The advantages are too great not to command the encouragement of every prelate in the Union. He regrets that his diocese will not be able to contribute effectually towards it. Owing to the "compose" of the population they will not be in want of subjects from that quarter. The German immigrants will settle only in the city of New Orleans where there are three German congregations, belonging to the Redemptorists, the Lazarists and seculars, also a mixed congregation of French, German and Irish. Blanc is willing to adopt two students, one at a time, under Article 9 of the Prospectus. Under better circumstances he hopes to give more efficient encouragement, but cannot at present. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
