Guybre?, T.A., New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1852 July 30

He offers a second bid on Holy Trinity Church which Blanc intends to rebuild. He had made a mistake in his first bid. This construction will amount to $14,000, not counting the changes Blanc might want to make in the course of the work. He makes this remark after seeing an article on the specifications made by T.E. Giraud and Larr ?, architects. The foundations will be 3 feet deep. All the carpentry, except the altars and pews, will be in cypress or juniper. The altars will be painted white with a gold stripe; the pews will be painted. Blanc will take into consideration that Guyfre is the father of a family whose work supports his children and who was once recommended to Blanc by Bishop John Louis de Cheverus, now Archbishop of Bordeaux and one of the most illustrious prelates of France. Guyfre was the one who first built this church destroyed by fire. :: VI-1-d A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
