Icard, Joseph, Marseilles, France, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1848 October 15

In letters dated August 24 and 30, 1847, Icard sent several letters which Rousselon forwarded to Mrs. Viges, mother-in-law of Icard's late brother. In the second one Icard told of the death of his mother. He never received a reply from Viges. He received a letter dated last June 17 from his niece Palmyre saying that she had learned of her grandmother's death. He is enclosing now a letter to Viges asking for a reply to the letter of August 30, 1847. He asks Rousselon for a few lines as to the result and also for news of the children. :: V-5-j A.L.S.
