to Bishop (Luis Penalver y Cardenas)
(New Orleans), Louisiana
Eloy Brousard cannot appear in person because he is the only support of his 61 year old mother and Josef Brusard his brother went down to the city two years ago for a dispensation and died on the return trip. Now the mother says if Eloy goes down the same thing will happen to him. They are related to Brunete's majordomo J(uan) B(autis)ta Brusard. This family ought to follow in line with Alexandre Brusard to whom (Penalver) granted a dispensation from the third degree.

New Orleans, (Louisiana)
Verar appeared and testified that Eloy Brusard is the son of J(ose)ph Brusard, son of Ignes Tibaudau, daughter of N. Tibaudeau. Margarita Tibaudau is the daughter of Anselmo Tibaudau, son of Carlos Tibaudau, son of the above N. Tibaudau, the common stock. Margarita's mother is dead and her father has many children so that Margarita and another son of his first marriage could only find another home by marrying. Verar signs as Jean Berard.
