_____ , New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M. and the Members of the Archiepiscopal Council, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1861 July 24

He sends the following information on the Chapel of St. Rose and the expenses for its construction. He hopes that the said property will keep to its actual destination or at least be employed for a pious end useful to the congregation. He is ready to cede it to the diocese for a moderate price and on very liberal conditions. Expenses itemized total $4,787.25 without counting several objects that he has paid for totaling about $100. He asks $3750 on terms of $750 down, and balance in 3 years at $1000 each year or 6 years at $500 each year with the ordinary interest. The lot is now worth double what he paid four years ago and is covered by many fruit trees which also have their value. :: VI-2-e A. L. French 3pp. 12mo.
