(Carroll), John, Bishop of
Baltimore, (Maryland)

to Bishop (Luis Penalver y Cardenas
New Orleans, Louisiana)

Carroll will send through Joseph Jaudenez, a full answer to Penalver's letters of January 13 and 27. There are special reasons for not sending that answer at present. He send this by Father Paul (de) St. Pierre to whom he has also delivered Penalver's letter for Father (James) Maxwell that Maxwell may be authorized to replace Father Paul once more in his parish. After examining his papers he found nothing to justify withholding from him Penalver's intentions. Carroll appreciates the confidence place in him. (P.S.) Carroll proposes the building of a cathedral in Baltimore. The members of his church are generally poor and he would appreciate any charitable recommendations Penalver might secure.

(Penalver y Cardenas, Luis), Bishop of
New Orleans, (Louisiana)

Since the proceedings concerning the inspection of wills have been many days in the possession of Pedro Pedesclaux, notary, they are to be turned in even if the certifications have not been made. This is certified by Rivas who adds in a note that he notified Pedesclaux of the decree. Pedesclaux replied that he had been working on the certifications and would probably turn them in the following day.

Penalver y Cardenas, Luis Bishop of
(New Orleans, Louisiana)

Although he intends to demand the certifications from Pedesclaux, since they have those of Ximenez and Broutin, the secretary will draw up a list of the testators and executors and bring it so that what is suitable may be decided. Rivas certifies this decree.

Rivas J(ose)ph M(ari)a de
New Orleans, (Louisiana)

A list of the testators and executors contained in the certifications of Ximenez; a list of the testators and executors contained in the certifications of Broutin written down in compliance with the above decree. (This is Folio 22).

Penalver y Card(ena)s, Luis, Bishop
(New Orleans), Louisiana

Since, in spite of the decree, the wills have not been presented for inspection and since according to the certifications of Ximenez and Brutein, it seems that most of the wills refer to Masses and pious bequests, the executors whose names are given in Folio 22 are asked to carry out the bequests within fifteen days and give documentary proof that they have fulfilled them. Rivas certified this decree and in notes that follow he certifies that he made known the decree to each one of the executors named in Folio 22.

The last marginal note of inspection is dated July 29, 1801). This carries out the decree of August 27, 1795 issued by Penalver and supported by Carondelet.
