President of the Board of Administrators OF
the Insane Asylum at jackson.

Honorable H. C. Warmoth, Governor of Louisiana:
SIR--As President of the Board of Admin.
istrators of this institution / deem it nv
duty 70 state a dilemma in which find nv.
self placed, and to solicit your advice in the
matter By military order the Legislative
provision made for the asylum for the year
1857, was extended to thesyear 1868, and
under sanction of that order, drew on the
State treasury for means of subsistence up
to first July, ultimo, the close of second
quarter. But the State having passed from
under military rule, the question now
presents itself whether or not the order re-
| ferred to has yet operation. If you enter
tain the opinion that it is yet in force, be
pleased so to signify to me, but if not,
respectfully suggest the propriety Of your
inviting the prompt attention of
the Legislature to the need of providing for
the wants Of the Asylum. Wehave means
sufficient to pay current charges up to the
close Of the present (third) quarter, and
have on hand bacon and barreied pork snf.
fcientto last the year out, and all the win
ter clothing Of the patients or material for
| it, providing some hannels, shoes, and hats
are provided; hut on first October we shall
need funds to pay salaries and wages of
| present quarter, and to replenish our stock
| OF coffee, sugar, rice, etc.; as also to meet
engagements with the baker and the
butcher.
! You will no doubt be pleased to learn that
/ all in the Asylum. patients as we'll as officers
and attendants, are free from acute diseases.
All told they number one hundred and
eighty adults. and one infant; and there is
not present case of acute indisposilon.
Very respe tfully,
Your obedient servant,
