Byrne, Bishop Andrew, Little Rock, Arkansas, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1851 May 2
Scope and Contents
In reply to Blanc's last favor, Byrne stated that there must be a mistake in the value of the entire property of Father Constantine Maenhaut in Little Rock and that Byrne would be satisfied to leave the valuation to any 2 or 3 men here, appointed by Maenhaut. Byrne encloses a certificate given by Judge Lincoln, the agent of Maenhaut. If Maenhaut does not agree to give Byrne the property at the valuation of his own agent, Byrne authorizes Blanc to offer 2 or $300 more. He does this that the property may again become sacred to religion and the intentions will be a great aid in the support of the four priests Byrne has here commencing a college. A.L.S. Enclosure:
