Amat, Bishop Thaddeus, Barcelona, Spain, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 December 5

According to information received by Father Anthony Penco, C.M. , Visitor of the Vincentians in the United States, Amat sends 6 young students, 3 of whom, Joseph Casanovas, Domenech Serrano y Franco, and Vincent Llover are for Amat's diocese of Monterey, California and the other 3, Francis of Aris? Mora and Borrell, James Moré and Biadin are for the Barrens. Amat asks Blanc to send the first three to his seminary to have them prepared for ordination at Amat's arrival which will be shortly after their reaching it. Amat will pay the expenses, etc. The other three are to be sent to Father James Rolando, C.M. in St. Louis. If Blanc has not yet received money for the expenses from St. Louis, he is to advance it, for it will be sent in a very short time. It may be that Amat may have to send others by the same way. :: VI-1-h A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo. 11
