Glajeux, Bérard des, Paris, France, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1853 November 17

The two Coucils of the Association of the Propagation of the Faith have allotted to New Orleans, 5000 francs, 2000 of which come from the alms of the Jubilee. The allocation from the ordinary receipts is subject to reduction in case these receipts are below their anticipation. Blanc will understand that the small figure is because of the consideration given to missions in jeopardy. The total subsidy forNatchez, on Blanc's recommendations as administrator, is 25,000 francs, of which 20,000 from the jubilee alms have already been paid by their late treasurer. They thank Blanc for having initiated the Association in his diocese. They hope his example will be followed by all the Bishops in America.
