Leray, Sister, Le Rocher, St. Servan, France, to Father Mahé, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1880 December 13

She does not know how to express her thanks for the news he sent her about himself and Bishop Leray. She hopes he will write from time to time and, for their part, they will try to keep him informed about his father. Sister Marie is trying to find someone at La Fresnaye to take care of their errands there. They sympathize in his loss of the good missionary and friend Father Joseph M. Quèlard. They are also weeping over a loss suffered last evening in the death of their pastor at St. Malo. The Bishop of Rennes is finding it difficult to replace him. She asks him to offer the respects of their whole little family at Rocher to Leray, her brother. VI-3-c - A.L.S. - French - 6pp. - 12mo. - {6}
