Lamy, Father George, Covington, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1859 April

He submits a report of the work already done on St. Peter's Church, the priesthouse and it annexes in 1857 and 1858 amounting to $437.12 which he has paid. He has also paid $150 as authorized by Blanc for the purchase of some land adjoining the church. He also proposes for Blanc's approval plans which will complete the restoration of the church, the school, and the house. It totals $103.25. He hopes to acquire the funds necessary to repair the interior of the church by holding a fair in August. However, in view of the loss of his house and expenses for the purchases of objects of prime necessity for the priest house, he begs Blanc to pay the sum indicated. :: VI-2-a A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
