New Orleans, Louisiana

to Archbishop Antonio Despuig y Dameto
(Seville, Spain)

Penalver has received with Despuig's letter of March 22, that of Saturnino Domine. He called Antonio Argote whom he advised to return to his wife and although Argote offered to depart next October Penalver is afraid he will not do so and will be on the watch to make him do so. Penalver answered the same to Domine whom he thinks is negligent in finishing up the affair.

In view of Domine's letter of March 12, Penalver called Ant(oni)o Argote and after various excuses in which he tried to justify his remaining in this province sixteen years, Argote offered to return next October. Penalver will see that this is done, urging on the Governor, and in case it is necessary, His Majesty, for this end. A note at the end of this letter states the Cavallero Redon having gone he directs this letter to this destination.
