Abstract
Armand Allard Duplantier, New Orleans, addresses his father, Joseph Allard Duplantier, recounting that he had gone to New Orleans with his son and the indigo from his uncle's succession, only to find that war had halted ships' sailing to France. He states that he has stored the indigo in the city and that communication will likely pass through New England or Spain. He reports that relatives have written James Mather ('Matter') and Julien Poydras concerning Claude Trénonay's succession. Duplantier relates that Americans have been allowed to conduct business in Louisiana. He says that André Gariot was going to accompany the writer's son to France and that 'Plauton' is mad over the war's preventing the journey. In the postscript, Duplantier asks to be remembered to 'my old pastor the Abbé Perrin.'
