Miro, Estevan
New Orleans
to Antonio Porlier, (Marquis of the Bajamar)
(Madrid, Spain)
A few days after the fire (of March 21,1788), Father Antonio de Sedella, O.M.Cap., at that time vicar and ecclesiastical judge, asked that some of the inhabitants be allowed to build little houses or cabins in the garden of the presbytery till the city should be rebuilt. Miro granted this permission. Then the banks having failed, the fabrique asked to charge a moderate rent in order that divine services might go on. But those who do not care to pay the rent can easily put their wooden house on wheels and move. The steward of the fabrique (Antonio Ramis) has asked that permission be given to build more decent houses from which sufficient rent may be obtained to support divine worship. Miro adds his pleas to that of the steward. A note dated June 28, 1791, by Andres Lopez de Armesto declares this to be a faithful copy.
