The attached documents, of which a list is given, would have been of value if forthcoming. They were (1) extracts from the registers of baptisms and burials ; (2) a deed of gift for the Capuchin church outside the fortress of Pondicherry ; (3) letters to prove that the Capuchins returned (? in 1699) at the request of Governor Martin ; (4) letters from the Bishop of San Thome, who is, they say, entirely under Jesuit influence ; (5) various letters addressed to Father Michel Ange, of Bourges, Superior at Madras ; (6) a letter from the Bishop to Father Esprit, of Tours; (7) a letter from Governor Martin to the said Superior, dated July 7, 1699, asserting that he (Martin) would not have written to the Bishop asking for a transference of the parish had not Father Beauvollier written from San Thome that the Capuchins made him (Martin) pass for a fourbe. The petitioner remarks that he had already earlier in the year (1703) presented letters from the Pondicherry Capuchins to Mr. de Pontchartrain. There are also ten letters of 1702 and 1703 connected with these Pondicherry disputes in the Archives Nationales, Paris, No. K 1,374, Nos. 39-43 and 51-55.
