Brogard, Father Joseph N., Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1845 March 18
Scope and Contents
Brogard informed the trustees of St. Joseph Church of Blanc's pastoral of May 16 so they could take notice of the articles concerning them. Recently a committee asked Brogard to assure Blanc that they were always ready to follow his suggestions. Also that the church had a debt of more than 1600 piastres and that the improvements proposed for the lamp, the baptismal fonts, and the taking of the Easter collection for the seminary are to be added. They have asked Brogard to ask Blanc to suspend, in favor of their poor fabrique, the directives given on this subject until they can satisfy the creditors of their church. P.S. The Christmas collection had never been taken up here; this year it was only 6 piastres. A.L.S. French 3pp Enclosure:
