(Ohio and New Jersey, 1883) " . . . the General Council deemed it expedient, and almost necessary to divide the administration labors of our vast field -- now so difficult to visit yearly -- into four geographical sections: of Indiana, of the East, South and West, and to assign to the best and most able Religious we have in each of the aforesaid sections the immediate responsibility of the Establishments of the Congregation in the states intrusted to their care and solicitude . . . The new officers should visit, if possible, in the course of October, and again in May, every house under their care and report quarterly, if not oftener, to the General Council. Let them clearly understand, that they shall be, first of all, credited with the advance and progress, the satisfaction and edification which will attend their administration . . . 1) Reverend L.

Hurth, Assistant Provincial for Ohio and New Jersey. 4) Rev. P. Franciscus, Assistant Provincial for Louisiana and Texas." Circular Letters of Sorin, pp. 183-4
