Abstract
Armand Allard Duplantier, New Orleans, writes his brother, Guy Allard Duplantier, stating that he has received a letter from the addressee care of Sarpy. He mentions again a previous letter that came through another Allard's son. In the postscript, he says that he has befriended this Allard, and he speaks of the son's unhappiness in the colony. The writer expresses his surprise at learning that the will that he had been encouraging his family to find is in favor of Mademoiselle Nardy and not his mother. He states that this discovery is new proof of Claude Trénonay's capriciousness and lying. Duplantier states that Sarpy has not received the procurations that the recipient supposedly sent him but has received something from Mr. Faure. The addresser refers to the Prévieux family again in reference to Trénonay's succession. He briefly talks about indigo, slaves, and cotton. Duplantier expresses his regrets upon hearing that his sister-in-law's second pregnancy fared no better than the first, and he relates that he and his wife lost a daughter born two months previously. The writer says he would like to swap one of his sons for a daughter that the recipient might have.
