SEMINARY OF
LEARNING, ALEXANDRIA, Louisiana, February 1, 1861.
DEAR SIR: . . . I
thank you most kindly, and Governor Moore through you, for the kind manner in
which you have met my wishes.
Now that I cannot be
compromised by political events, I will so shape my course as best to serve the
institution, which has a strong hold on my affections and respect.
The Board of Supervisors
will be called for the 9th instant, and I will co-operate with them in their
measures to place matters here on a safe and secure basis. I expect to be here
two weeks, and will make you full returns for moneys and property belonging to
the State Central Arsenal. All the arms and ammunitions are safely stored here.
Then I will write you more at length.
