Izard, Dr. J., New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father Charles M. Mesnard, Thibodauxville, Louisiana, 1847 July 17

Izard wrote yesterday in haste to take advantage of St. Aubin's leaving. Izard talked to his sister-in-law and brothers-in-law; all said they could not accept the conditions in Mesnard's letter. Izard has almost given his word to Jamey who offers $5000 for the house and all the other buildings and 5 arpents of land. When Izard was at Lafourche, he talked on this subject; Troné? said the property was too far from Thibodauxville. The only way for Mesnard to buy the property is to pay $1125 every year for four years. Izard must abide with the majority of the five heirs; they will sell only under the above conditions. If Mesnard wishes to buy it he should come to the city immediately where the sale will be made before Felix Feray? notary. A.L.S. :: V-5-h A.L.S. French 10pp. 4to.
