Be it known, that on this Fifteenth day of the month of June in the year of our Lord One

Before me, Louis Dugas, Recorder duly commissioned and qualified in and for this
Parish of St. James, State of Louisiana, and in the presence of the hereinafter named and
subscribing witnesses,
Personally came and appeared Mr. Prosper Plaisance, a resident of this parish of St.
James
Who declared that he does hereby acknowledge himself to be justly and truly indebted
Unto Mr. Felix. P. Poche of this Parish of St. James in the full sum of One Thousand
Four hundred and thirty Eight dollars (1438) amount of a loan which he obtained from
said Poche.
And in order to represent the said indebtedness the said Plaisance has produced and
furnished two promissory notes subscribed by him under date of this day, to his own
order and by him endorsed, payable at the office of the Recorder of this parish on the first
of June Eighteen hundred and seventy one (1871) with eight per cent per annum interest
from and after maturity until paid which said promissory notes, having been paraphed
"Ne Vanitur" by me the Recorder to identify them with this act, was (sic) delivered to F.
P. Poche who acknowledges the receipt thereof.
And in case it shall become necessary to institute legal proceedings for the recovery of
the amount of said two notes or of any part thereof, the said Prosper Plaisance, binds
himself to pay the fees of the attorney at laws, who shall be employed for that purpose,
which fees are hereby fixed at ten per cent on the amount sued for.
Now therefore, in order to secure the full and punctual payment of the said two notes in
Capital eventual interest, and attorney's fees aforesaid, the said Prosper Plaisance
declares, that he does by these presents mortgage, affect and specially hypothecate in
favor of said Felix P. Poche, and to inure to the use and benefit of any and all future
holders or holders of said notes the following described landed property to Wit:
A certain tract of land situated in the parish of St. James on the left Bank of the River
Mississippi, at about sixty miles above the City of New Orleans, measuring one half
arpent more or less front to the river by forty arpents more or less in depth closing in the
rear bounded above by the property of Mr. Louis Guidry Sr. and below by that of Mr.
Pierre Escuren, together with all the buildings and improvements thereon and thereunto
belonging.
The above described tract of land was acquired by said Prosper Plaisance from [] on the

The parties hereby dispense with the production of a mortgage certificate as required by
Article (3328) of the Civil Code of the State and exonerate the Undersigned Recorder
from all responsibility to that effect.
And to these presents came and intervened Mrs. Adele Guidry, the wife of lawful age of
said P. Plaisance, who after having taken cognizance of the foregoing Act, which I
Recorder carefully read and explained to her was informed by me Recorder apart and out
of the presence and hearing of her said husband that she had by law a legal mortgage on
the property of her said husband 1) For the restitution of her dowry, and for the
reinvestment of the dotal property sold by her husband, and which she brought in
marriage, reckoning from the celebration of the marriage 2) For the restitution and the
re-investment of the dotal property by her acquired since marriage whether by succession
or donation. 3) For nuptial presents. 4) For debts contracted with her said husband and
5) For the amount of her paraphernal property alienated by her and received by her said
husband or otherwise disposed of for the individual interest of her said husband. That in
renouncing to all her said rights, she would deprive herself irrevocably and forever, of all
rights of reclamation against the tract of land herein mortgaged, whether under mortgage,
privilege or otherwise.
And the said Mrs. Plaisance, did thereupon declare unto me Recorder, that she was fully
aware of, and acquainted with the nature and intent of the matrimonial dotal, paraphernal
and other rights thus secured by law to her, and that she nevertheless did persist in her
intention of renouncing, not only all the rights, claims, and privileges herein before
enumerated and described, but all others of any nature or kind whatsoever to which she is
or may be entitled by any laws, now or heretofore in force in the State of Louisiana.
And the said P. Plaisance, being now present, aiding and authorizing his said wife, she
the said lady did again declare, that she did and does hereby make a formal renunciation
and relinquishment of her said rights, claims and privileges, in favor of said F. P. Poche
mortgager binding herself and her heirs, at all times to sustain and acknowledge the
validity of this renunciation. The above renunciation made by Mrs. Plaisance is given to
grant to the present mortgage priority of mortgage to the one Recorded in her favor
against her husband according to existing laws:
