Illustration II: A Letter by Peter Quintard: Dated April 11, 1728, and addressed to his brother, "Isaac Quintard, Living in Stamford." Written in French, a translation is: "My brother, These few lines to assure you of our health which is good, thank God. I pray God that it be the same with your own. Morin has come to dwell here. He is going to Boston for his wife because he has a house here. I beg you to come here Saturday or some day soon to fetch work to go to Hartford. I pray you to come without fault for I am expecting it. This is all for the present- except that I remain your loving brother until death. Pr Quintard." The other side, in addition to the address, has notes, probably in Isaac Quintard's hand-writing, of an account with Samuel Knapp, his brother-in-law. The five entries total six shillings, six and one-half pence.
