"Je n'ai pas eu le tems de broder le fichu de melie, mais je vais natter des cheveux pour lui faire un collier comme la mein"*
--Victorine du Pont to Sophie Dalmas du Pont, September 18, 1808

*I haven't had time to embroider the kerchief for Melie but I will plait some hair to make her a necklace like mine.
