Henri Dominique, O.P., Sister, Cette, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché of New Orleans, Rome, Italy, 1880 February 7

She thanks him for his letter of January 20. He replaces the father she has lost. She thanks him for his promise to visit her after leaving Rome, but begs him to wait until the weather gets warmer for fear that his health will suffer. Her mother's letter tells her that her father died a very holy death. Father E.? Chocarne, O.P. stopped at Cette on January 21 and was happy to think that he will find Perché at Rome. Perché knows how much all the Dominican Fathers, whom he has always received and protected so well, love him. In the Spring she will see her mother and sister Blanche, after 10 years' absence. Her mother will then go to the colonies where she has many relatives. The Martin, Virarz and de St. Quentin families were all thankful for his remembrance. She was sorry to hear that Count Jules de Boursetty had been ill at Rome and hopes he will accompany Perché on his visit. She sends her respects to Father Hippolyte Leneuf :: VI-3-b A.L.S.
