Nelson, T.A., Memphis, Tennessee, to E.M. Hudson, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1875 March 31

Nelson appreciates the desire of Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché to close up his business affairs, and he and the others at the Southern Life Insurance Company want to cooperate. The maximum cash value they can afford to pay for the policies is $2925. The balance on Perché's note of December 31 is $2960. If Perché desires to settle the note in this fashion, papers can be exchanged. He encloses a copy of the form Hudson desired. P.S. If the proposition is accepted, no claim will be made for the small difference of $35. Enclosure: Permission is granted to Perché to travel on the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean and reside or travel in Europe until January 1, 1876, without prejudice to his life insurance policies. :: VI-2-o A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
