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

Enclosed is the census and note of the burials and marriages of 1800. In the 235 reales the marguilliers received as fees Pavie has included 200 reales from the treasury for the oblata in 1799 when he was in town. He has considered this sum as fees. He never received the fees for the burials which he sent last year; he does not know if they were given to someone to bring to him. (Penalver) will please let him know.
