Chapuy, Widow, née Ct. Detour, Ambierle, France, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1865 December 6

It seems like ages since she has had news from Odin. She wishes him a Happy New Year. His family is well except for the little son of Jean Claude Odin? who fell while playing and broke his leg and who is doubly dear because he is the image of Odin. Miss Cesile entered Pradine? A few days ago. Mrs. Frobert is getting along all right; all her family are well. Father Joseph Martinière left 3 months ago; he was tired out. He was replaced by Father Didier. Mr. Delinière and his daughter are well, as are Mr. Tevenard and his son-in-law. Mrs. Preverot has a nervous disease. Mr. Lagendre and his sisters are well. Chapuy was happy to see the war end, it makes her hope Odin will now be able to visit them. Her Father has given her the buildings at Bourg and the garden. She was happy to receive a letter from Mr. Reban and his son Felix Reban, her godson. Her parents and sister send best regards. :: VI-2-j A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
