Moreau, Camille, Poitiers, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1877 November 22

Camille directs Perché's attention to the enclosed letter from Mr. Malval, councillor of the Court of Appeals of Poitiers and vice-president of their St. Vincent de Paul Society. In place of New York, Perchéshould read New Orleans. Malval is concerned about the marriage of young Mr. Zorn of Bulach. If Perché knows a woman who fulfills all Malval's conditions, he can present her to the young Alsatian without fear. As Perché can see, it is hoped that he can be prevented from marrying a German. They see from the Univers that Father Joseph Marie Millet is at Rome where he has been received by the Holy Father and that the mission on which Perché sent him has succeeded. Camille is going to write to him care of Mrs. Lavigne . They are thinking of sending him some money for Sister M. Francois of Jesus Valentine Moreau . The news they receive of that poor child saddens them. The climate is very bad for her. Their consolation is that she is near Perché. He asks Perché to pray for them and for his Joseph Moreau whom he would like to see happily married. P.S. His wife, Amelia, Joseph, Romuald and Genevieve all ask his blessing. :: VI-3-a A.L.S.
