Morales, Antonio
(New Orleans, Louisiana)

to (Father Thomas Hassett)

Since it is well known that this province is about to go under French dominion, Morales may be occupied with other business. Therefore he makes up the accounts of the Cathedral of St. Luis from January 1 to November 1, 1802. The credits stand at 6906 pesos, 4 1/2 reales, the debits at 5310 pesos, 1 real leaving a balance of 1596 pesos, 3 1/2 reales. Morales asks that Hassett have the accounts examined.
