Bienville concludes a peace treaty with the Chickasaw in April 1740.

After two campaigns falling so far short of expectations, Bienville requests that he be relieved of his duties as governor.

While waiting for a new governor to arrive, Bienville helps establish a Charity Hospital that had been endowed by a sailor named Jean Louis.

He also heads a relief effort when two hurricanes hit the Gulf Coast in the fall of 1740.
