Favre, Nicolin Antoine, Matamoros, Mexico, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1848 February 26

Favre thanks Rousselon for his kindnesses to his orphan sister. Leaving for Mexico so quickly, Favre could not call on him. He knows nothing more about his sister as he left his mother with another sister in a room above the café at the corner of Rampart and St. Pierre. He asks Rousselon to have someone visit his mother so that on his return he may see her again. If his sister Luise Favre is the least bit disposed to religion?, Rousselon is to encourage her. It would make her happier than the deceitful world of today. He thanks the Conté ladies who will employ her. Things are very quiet here at the moment. He does not know when he can return. His wife joins in sending respects and in greetings for his mother and sister. :: V-5-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
