Follot, Father Francis C., Plaquemine, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1863 June 12

Odin authorized Follot by letter to accept land for the cemetery, but the notary, G.S. Rousseau, says that he needs a power of attorney; adjoined is the model which Rousseau dictated. Follot asks Odin to send it as soon as he can. It will reach him promptly if he confides it to M.R. Haggerty. Adjoined: A power of attorney to accept a lot of ground from Louis Desobry, Sr. and his wife, Minerva Hopson to be used by the Catholics of Iberville as a burying ground. It is bounded west by a street dividing it from the land of James Carlin, east by a continuation of the line which divides the Catholic and Protestant graveyards, north by the Catholic graveyard, and south by the land of Lovinski Orillion. :: VI-2-g A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
