As to Carson, Joseph will talk to him. Send to Joseph a receipt from Carson for the money which he advanced him. It is in the drawer to my table in the parlor. Give him also the Memoranda which Mr. Drouin had made of my affairs of the succession of my father, in order that he can make another copy to carry to France. <strong>The</strong> Memoire, I believe, is with the bundle of papers of unimportant affairs of the family. <strong>The</strong>y surely are located in the drawer of the table. I kiss the two [?] daughters every day and love them greatly. <strong>The</strong> greatest thing would be to embrace you very tenderly, I wish I could. Adieu my Gogo, give my address to Joseph and tell him to write me the result of his interview with Carson. Have you arranged with Miss Blundell how you shall make out her bill for last year? J.B.

Letter 2. [Letter translated, not original, in English, handwritten, in the Edward Ladd collection, Mobile, AL; from Jean Baptiste to his wife] Exeter [England], Tuesday 4 p.m., September 8, 1808 To Mrs. Florian, Assembly House Boarding School, Laytonstone, Essex If you have not, my Gogo, yet received the letter for me from Mssrs. Farrer, or if you find on reading that which is here enclosed for Mr. Falkner, that it responds well to what he says, send it by post, together with copies of the first two letters from Carson. Do not send yet the originals because they are addressed to “Florian Jolly,” and I do not wish these Gentlemen to know yet the last name. Besides, it is always so much of delay, and you can send the originals some days after, when they are demanded. I leave the date of my letter to Mr. Faulkner blank. Fill in the date on which you send it, or the preceding day. If my letter does not respond to some questions in the one you get from Farrar, you can send it as if it had left before I had received the letter from them. And then you can reply two or three days after: “Mr. F[lorian]’s compliments to Mssrs. Farrer and Co., [he] begs leave to refer them to a letter he wrote a few days ago to Mr. Faulkner and also to Mr. Carson for any elucidation of this business.” <strong>The</strong> essential thing is to gain time. <strong>The</strong> wind is from the west and I fear being detained some time in the port. I burn to be on the vessel. Each actual minute is so much out of the space of time which must separate us. I count each day that slides by, as one day the less to be far from one another, and one more toward the time of our reunion. Adieu my Gogo. I embrace you and the children as I love you – that’s all I can say. I will not leave here until tomorrow in the night for Falmouth. I will arrive Thursday. J.B. Florian Jolly 19
