To the Honorable the Judge of the Seventh Judicial District of the State of

Louisiana, having jurisdiction in and for the Parish of East Feliciana.

The pet. of A.H. McRae resident of the Parish of Livingston of the State of

Louisiana Administrator of the Sucession of Daniel McRae dec'd Respectfully

shows that he files here with his act as administrator showing that the costs

& privileges claims have taken the entire sucession.  That a number of the

adjudications he has been unable to realize on account of the failure of the

parties ( & ?) the running of the negroes that the funds realized have not

been sufficient to pay said privileges claims.  That he filed in the  (blank)

an act of his administration but that some of the vouchers & a large portion

of the Record has been lost or mislaid, that the cause has been continued from

time to time & they cannot be found, he therefore files a new act.

Wherefore he prays that D.C. Hardie be appointed Atty. of absent heirs, that

the filing of this act be duly published & after due & legal proceedings had

in the premises, that the same be homologated & made the judgement of the

Court that his Bond be cancelled & he discharged from his administration for

cost & general relief in the premises.
