To the City Council of New Orleans:
beg leave to make favorable report in

charge of the Louisiana Retreat Asylum,
asking a supply of wood, coal, etc.
There are said to be at least twenty pa
tents in the Retreat Asylum. from whom
little or no compensation is received, most
OF them being delicate young females whom
it would be cruelty to consign to that
gloomy old pile which the city does violence
to language by styling an insane asylum.
As the Retreat has at no time received
aid from the city, would respectfully urge
the passage of the accompanying resolution.
L. T. DELASSIZE, Administrator.
