Capelle, Baron, London, England, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1842 April 8

Capelle thanks Blanc for his letter of February 23 and expresses his appreciation for his charity toward one who has so much to repent of if she were not still the victim of a perversity which has thrown her once and then again into an abyss of impenitence. The family does not seem ready to receive with the mother the child who would be a living testimony of the dishonor of which no trace must appear in England, a scandal for the two young sisters. The uncle awaits more calm before writing to Blanc. Capelle saw by Blanc's letter that Madame de Bellune was redoubling her pleas to Blanc to aid her in bringing back her husband, the Father of eight children. But she does not foresee the destruction which would follow his return to France. The Father and uncle of his victim are only prevented in their vengeance by lack of the fortune lost in the revolution. Capelle has only one hope, that the young lady would come back alone to her grandmother, who idolizes her. :: V-4-m A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to.
