Chapuy, Widow née C. Detour, Ambierle, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1865 January 1

Miss Herbin shared with Odin's family and Chapuy the letter Odin wrote to Father Peter Berthet. She was glad to hear that Odin is better than at the time of departure of Father Charles Padey who visited her in November; they talked of friends in America. For two weeks now she has lived across from Mr. Bernaud, who has a store. Here she is a little more independent but she can in an instant go to her poor sister. Her Father, mother and sister are getting along all right. Odin's family is well except Aunt Josephine suffers a little. Mrs. Frobert and Miss Mélanie are well. Mrs. Monérie's son has typhoid fever. Mélanie came to help her sister take care of him, but the doctor told her it would be prudent for her to return to Arfeuilles. The pastor, Mr. and Miss Deliguére and Mr. Thevenard and the Sisters all send their respects. :: VI-2-i A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
