From Saint-Roch Parish

9/1/1818

Dear Sir:

I would ask you to please come to my home, in the morning before nine o’clock, or in the evening at five o’clock, to discuss a matter that concerns you. Please believe me when I offer you my highest regards.

Your very humble and very obedient servant,

Auvray

Business Manager, Parish of Saint-Roch

[M.B. notes: “That same day I went to Mr. Auvray’s home and gave him the funds for the aforementioned foundations: a five-pound candle to be burned every August 15, and the other for two masses, according to the founder’s intentions.”]
