Notes

Translation of Item: "Through Louise I learned that Madam [you] had been informed of my desire to go to work in America, and I would be all the more happy to return to Madam's [your] service. Louise tells me about the work I will have to do. I think I can do it for you because I have always worked as a house maid. If I am leaving, I want to do it under the same conditions as my sister, in terms of wages and the trip. That is to say $12.50 a week to start, and then $20, and the return trip to France in less than two years. If this is possible, I will serve as soon as Madam [you] would like. It is my desire to leave as soon as possible. Accept my greetings, Madam, Angele Hamon"
