Penalver y Cardenas, Luis, Bishop of Penalver has received a decree dated at San Lorenzo on October 2, 1796, in which the king relieves Fathers Thomas Hasset(t) and Fran(cis)co Perez Guerrero, canons of the (New Orleans) Cathedral, from the payment of the annats of the half year because of their very small revenue. Seniority goes to Hassett because he was appointed first. The royal decree orders Penalver to keep the original in the archives, to notify the parties interested and to relieve them of their obligation. Father Isidro Quintero certifies as Pro-Secretary.

In a letter of August 21, 1795, Guerrero reported that having
arrived in New Orleans on August 16, he was given the first place

that he be exempt from the payment and that the endowment be
increased. In a letter of October 20, 1795, Hassett reported that
Guerrero having obtained the prebend by the resignation of Father
Manuel Gomez Aguirre first named to it, endeavored to be preferred
in seniority, notwithstanding that the date of (Hassett)'s royal
decree was August 14 and that of Guerrero was November 24, both of
