A letter written by Anthony MONTPELIER to John CLOSE, who was residing in the Port Barre' Louisiana area, is housed in the John CLOSE papers collection in the Special Collections Department at Hill Memorial Library at LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Anthony MONTPELIER (son of Antoine MONTPELIER and Marguerite LEGAIR) was married to Eleanor NEZAT (daughter of Antoine NEZAT and Julie Felicie BARRE). John CLOSE was married to Euphrosine BARRE', who was a sister of Julie Felicie BARRE'.

A copy of the letter written by Anthony Montpelier to John Close is attached and below is my transcription of that letter.

The word "pieux" refers to fencing stakes.

Mr. John Close

November the 5 – 1825

Sir

By Tuesday I wile [sic] vacate your home. There is on the place 300 good fencing pieux, and about 60 or 70 more serviceable ones. The plank in the house, the doors hinges and Hooks, etc I will let you have at a low price (say 15$) as they will suit you better than any one else. The 40 Pieux I got from you are on the House. The remainder are mine; as to the rails the fencing of the garden I have no pretensions to, the timber came of your land. I am now ready to close a settlement with you at any place you think proper provided on the terms of Equity and Justice, the time is now come to separate, let us separate in peace, If you take the stakes you can count them if you think proper, or take the whole as they are. If you do not wish to give the money for the stakes, etc, I will take on order on Mr.Louallar [?] as invoice [?].

Yours etc.,

Anthony Montpelier
