A letter from Elmire

This letter was written in 1925. It was written by Elmire, aunt of Marguerite Chevallier in Graffigny-Chemin, France and posted to Major Madison Pearson in Columbus, Georgia.The letter appears to discuss the house in Graffigny and perhaps a collection that is due. Mr. Colson may be a lawyer referred to in another letter. I will check. Les  Marigab are referenced in page one and a Madame Marigab later. Paulette is mentioned on the last page.

The contents are difficult to read because of the handwriting, but I will try. You can pipe in if you have corrections or comments. Click on the letter to view in a larger size.
