Lavay, S.J., Father Joseph, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1855 June 9

In asking for the dispensation from disparity of cult for Fleming Tynes and Ann Polson, Lavay made a mistake. He was told that the young man had never been baptized and he has told Lavay since that he was baptized in the Presbyterian church. If it does not spoil Blanc's plans, Lavay asks him to defer his visit to Baton Rouge until the end of July. Lavay is to go to Grand Coteau to make his retreat and will not be back until the end of next month. He would like to be here during Blanc's visit. If this is inconvenient, Blanc is to set any date; Father Joseph Prachensky, S.J. will prepare the children for Confirmation. :: VI-1-i A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
