Clementine ée Laffon de Ladébat, Paris, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1881 November 13

She received his letter of the 16th several days ago and thanks him for it. It made her weep to see how sad he is. She wishes he could return to France. Jeanne's happiness, which was so desired but upon which she had hardly counted, was a matter of divine intervention. God had permitted her poor, much loved husband this supreme consolation. Everyone sends Perché their respects. Jeanne, who is at Paris, sends her tenderest regards and William sends his respects. Papa, Réé and Philippe join them. They have charged Father Chatelain to tell him how much they love him. Her aunt from Vauguelin asks to be remembered. :: VI-3-c A.L. Incomplete French 4pp. 12mo.
