Hechavarria y Elguezua, Santiago Joseph de, bp. of Santiago de Cuba
Havana, (Cuba)

to Father (Antonio de Sedella), auxiliary vicar and ecclesiastical judge of Louisiana.
New Orleans, (Louisiana)

He grants a marriage dispensation from the impediment of consanguinity to Valerio Juan de Lasise, ensign in the permanent regiment of Louisiana and Eulalia Avart, native of Punta Cortada (Point Coupee, Louisiana). He indicates the penances the couple are to perform; since Lasise is a soldier he (Hechavarria) delegates to (Sedella) the faculty necessary to marry those under the military jurisdiction. Drawn up and signed for the bishop of Cuba by Ambrosio de las Cuebas, secretary.
