 | Extract: Letter written to Miss Destrehan of Paris, sister of the deceased L. Destrehan, 19 Mar 1771 This letter was written to Marguerite Marie Destrehan of Paris by her sister in law, Jeanne Catherine de Gauvry, following the death of her brother in law, Jean Baptiste Louis Destrehan. When Jeanne Catherin de Gauvry's husband, Jean Baptiste Honore Destrehan de Beaupré, died in 1765, her brother in law, Jean Baptiste Louis Destrehan took over as guardian of the children (minors) and estate. (The children were being schooled back in France at the time.) Following his death, the Spanish Colonial govt tried to take possession of the estate. This letter details the workings of the Cabildo of the Spanish Government. |
