              Loudon Papers, MSS. Huntington Library, San Marino, California; 
	photocopies, Illinois Historical Survey, Urbana, Illinois. 
	These papers are Governor de Vaudreuilss office records. They 
	were captured at sea by a British vessel.


LO 21, Extrait des Registres.... du Conseil Superieur de la 
Louisiane du 19e Novembre (9bre), 1740.   (1 p.)
	(This is a deposition in the case of Joseph Le Kintarek, Sr. 
Dupont, against Joseph Blanpain.  The case arises at Natchitoches.)


LO 165  Etat des Habitants aux Allemands estant Existant fait le 
8 fevr 1749. (2 "spreads" or double pages. Signed: Darensbourg.)
	(The total  of habitants is 44; number of women not given. In 
addition to the habitants are 19 jeunes gens, dont 8 au dessus de 
moy et onze au dessous.  Of one man in addition to the 44 it is 
said that he has gone some years since to live on the property of 
M. Flament (apparently not on the German Coast.))

LO 188, La houssaye to Vaudreuil, Chapitoulas ce 26 Septembre 1749. 
LC 189, La houssaye to Vaudreuil, New Orleans, ce 27 Septembre 1749.
	(He asks permission to return to France on account of continued 
ill health.  He wishes to be transferred to some other colony. He 
says that for this purpose he wishes to apply to his "protection"
in France.  Apparently this is the La Houssaye who was transferred 
in the following year to Canada, and not the one who became 
commandant of Arkansas Post.)

LO 200. (This is a tabulation.  No signature.  After the name of each 
habitant, in the first section, are tabulated the numbers 
of persons and animals of his household; the figures are included 
in this present typescript for only four habitants.  Only the 
numbers of livestock are indicated in the MS. in the case of 
Flamant and Lafroray.  After the name of Flamant is the letter 
P (capital), indicating perhaps the father of another Flamant -
but no other of that name appears in the MS.  There are in all, 
7 "officers and habitants;" 8 women; 8 boys; 8 girls; 14 slaves; 
3 horses; 29 "boeufs;" 80 cows; 27 pigs.  The only large herd of 
cattle is that of the departed Flamant, numbering 8 "boeufs" and 
17 cows.  In the second section (boss voyageurs) the names of the 
engages employed by the various bourgeois are not given.  It is 
not said that the census is made at the Arkansas Post. Apparently 
Delino is the only officer.  Since this is his own census, the 
name appears to be properly spelled as above.  This is Delino 
Chalmette.)
