The writer repeats his interest in property at Falque and Tullins ('Tulin'), France. He sends his regards to Eduvige, his aunts Allard and Guimard, Madame Faure, the 'Penaillon,' Fr.

Abstract
Armand Allard Duplantier, Baton Rouge, writes his brother, Guy Allard Duplantier. [A duplicate of this correspondence exists in the Duplantier (Armand) Letters, Mss. 4914.] The addresser acknowledges receipt of the addressee's letter sent through Mr. Degrange. Duplantier speaks of the woman he is considering marrying and confesses that the memory of his first wife is causing him to hesitate entering again into matrimony. He refers to his brother's marriage, stepson, and child on the way. The writer indicates the retrocession’s effect on the colony and outlines his plans to leave Louisiana. He expresses his desire to send his youngest son, Guy, and possibly his second son, Armand, to France with Dr. Louis Giovellina. Duplantier relates his children's health as well as his views on inoculation. He requests information on the property at Falque, France, and mentions Girod, Mr. de la Haye, Messrs. Ducret [Ducuet?] and Allegret, Mr. Tivollier, his female cousin Mme. Faure, and Gariot. Changing from 'tu' to 'vous,' the writer addresses a few words to his sister-in-law and sends his regards to her son.
