Cauvin, Father D. André, Terre aux Boeufs, Louisiana, to Father Etienne Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1860 April 15

Cauvin has terminated the affair of the trustees of this parish. The pastor pro tem of St. Bernard's is the president of the church council, which has allotted 600 piastres per year as a salary in addition to fees. All the land from the highway to the railway is reserved for the parish house garden. The parish council cedes to the pastor all pew rents and revenue from church lands rented under its supervision. The pastor pro tem will have charge of the upkeep of the church interior. The pastor will call a meeting of the council twice a year, or upon the demand of a member of the council. The pastor will present the accounts in the last meeting of the year. After the pastor's 600 piastres and the expenses for the upkeep of the parish have been deducted, the remainder is to be placed at the disposal of the council for the benefit of the parish. If Rousselon is dissatisfied, he is not to think it is a lack of good will on Cauvin's part. :: VI-2-c A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
