Agnes, Sister, Bourg, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1880 November 19

She regrets not having been able to write to him before his departure, but she was too overcome with sadness at not being able to accompany him. It would have been a great happiness for her, her family and her congregation. However, the decision of their Reverend Mother to retain her a few months is an indication of God's will. Still she has a great need to return to her native land. She asks him to take care of his health. P.S. Mother Espérance asks to be remembered. :: VI-3-b A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
