Carondelet, December 27, 1839
Your Blessing
Monsignor
We cannot allow New Year's day to pass without expressing to you again our very deep sentiments of gratitude and veneration that we, all of us, have for you, for the numberless good actions with which you spoil us daily.
We shall always remember it and we hope to continue to deserve it by our good behavior and by fulfilling your desires. These are the feelings we all have and we beg you to accept our wishes for a happy year, wishes that all of us send you. If Heaven is sensible of our prayer, the new year will be for you one of happiness and will be followed by numerous others for our happiness and that of all the people of the Diocese.
We have the honor to be with the deepest respect your very humble and obedient daughters
