Fay, Mrs. Azoline C., Jeanerette's Post Office, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1868 January 20

She and her husband were completely ruined during the war. They have begun to pay back their debts, but are now concerned with the welfare of their 14 year old daughter. Fay wanted her educated at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, but they would not reduce the price. She wrote to the Superioress of Holy Cross at New Orleans but the latter said the price would be $314 per year, a price which her husband says he cannot pay. She, therefore, asks Odin if it would be possible for him to get her a reduction in tuition at either the Ursulines or the Sacred Heart. She recommends herself as the daughter of Mrs. Ursin Perret and the cousin of Mrs. Freret :: VI-2-n A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
