Today, first of the month of May of the year eighteen hundred and thirty eight, sixty second of the Independence of the United States of America, I, F.L.

He declared that, although not ill at the present moment but being very old, he must expect to die at any time and did not want to be taken by death unaware. To that effect he requested me to receive his last will and testament, which I did immediately, before the above named witnesses, under the dictation of the testator, as follows.
I declare that my name is Antoine D'Aspit (?) St. Amand son of Dominique St. Amand and Francoise Pujol, both deceased.

I wish said amount of four hundred piastres bequested hereby, paid to Theree Belasie within the year following my death.
I give and bequeath to said Therese Belasie the amount of four hundred piastres to be paid in one single payment by my executor within six months following my death.

I give and bequeath to the shop of the St. Charles Parish Church the amount of one hundred piastres payable in one single payment.
I give and bequeath to Arsene, son of Therese Belasi, named above, my saddle horse called Cayetano, which I bought at the sale of the late Norbert Zeringue's estate. I also give and bequeath a cow to each of the other children of Therese Belasie: Honorine, Victorin, and Jean-Baptiste Brecourt, said cows, with the horse Cayetano to be entrusted by my executers to Therese Belasie.
And, for the executor of the present will, I designate my nephew and godson, Mr. Onesiphore St.Anand, to whom I entrust the safekeeping of all my possessions from the day of my death and to whom I give all necessary powers for the líquidation of my estate. In case of incapacity or death of my godson and nephew, Onesiphore St.Amand, I name, as executor of the present will my relative and friend, Mr. Charles Perret, to whom I delegate all powers given by me in the present will to the above named Onesiphore St. Amand, my nephew.
