Seminary, Nov. 25, 1859.
DEAR GENERAL: Young Mr. Jarreau is now here and says his
wagon is near at hand, with a quarter of mutton for Mr. Vallas and myself. As I
am staying with “carpenters’ mess,” I thank you for the favor and will see that
Mr. Vallas gets the whole with your compliments. Work progresses slow, but
sure. I have the regulations done and several other papers ready for the
meeting Monday. As time passes, and Mr. Vallas is not certain that he can get
one hundred copies of Algebra at New Orleans I have ordered them of the
publisher in New York. . .
Please let Mr. St. Ange give you the title of his text
books, grammar and dictionary. All other text books, ought to be approved by
the Academic Board, but as that can't assemble in time, we must take for
granted that these preliminary books are absolutely required in advance. I take
it for granted the particular grammar and dictionary can be had in New Orleans.
. .
