Montferrand, Father A., Mazeres-sur-Veste, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 July 21

Montferrand is a brother of Sister Marie de St. Jean Montferrand, Ursuline, whom Odin knows well. He asks Odin to render the family an important service. They want the death certificate of Bertrand Junca born April 13, 1763 and who died at New Orleans around 1840. They have been told that he died intestate and that he left a considerable fortune including several merchant ships. It is in the name of Dominiquette Junca, niece of the deceased and wife of Orbessan, that this research is to be made. At the bottom of the letter in Odin's hand: Francois Junca died at Charity Hospital, bus driver, Raymond Junca died in 1824. :: VI-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
