Sister Jeanne-Antide Thouret to Sister Elisabeth Bouvard
Naples, 30 november 1810
“I did not forget you and our Sisters before the relics of St Peter, relics surrounded with 110 lamps which are lit day and night. We arrived in Naples on 18th November. The authorities carne to meet us and conducted us to our church where the Bishop said Mass for us, with organ and orchestra. Afterwards we kissed his ring. We were taken to our house which is lovely and very spacious, with terraces on top where we can walk and see the whole city and the sea, as well as the mountain which smokes and throws out fire and flames in the summer. From tomorrow, we shall take charge of a hospital near us which has 100 sick.
Pray for us.
It seems I shall leave about Easter for Besançon. The King of Naples and the Queen, in their kindness, have paid us a visit. It is rather chilly at present. We have a good French confessor… is giving us Italian lessons. Sister Rosalie and little Colombe embrace you. They are well, and so are our Sisters”.
