Lavay, S.J., Father Joseph, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 March 5

Father Curioz tells Lavay that he has no intention of recalling Lavay without Father Darius Hubert, S.J .. They will leave only when Blanc sends a replacement. Lavay wishes to be recalled soon. Lavay regards the schools as entirely saved. He has required that all the children give something each month; only 2 or 3 have refused. This contribution added to voluntary subscriptions and collections will be more than enough to support these 2 schools. The big objection to Lavay's going having disappeared, he hopes Blanc will hear his pleas. P.S. Hubert has shown Blanc's two letters to Mr. Hynes . Hynes being obliged to be absent for several days, the report of the committee was made during that time. At the same time, Henry St. Paul went to New Orleans and promised to inform Blanc of what has been done. Hubert sent a telegram on this subject. :: VI-1-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
