to Sacramento or San Francisco in 1913 or

year of my birth, and given by priest to
Mrs. Frances Matty, of Colosse, n. Y,
where was reared as Louisa Duval, and
taught to believe that Charles Duval was
my father. l have recently learned it
was deception on the part of the priest;
that my father was Peter Guerdet. l am
also informed that my mother came from
Manchester or Liverpool, England, with
her sister Mary, neither of whom have l
ever known; that my aunt married an
American, Joseph g. Williams or Joseph
Smith, and also went to California, and
that | had a brother or sister born in 1S49.

exiled me from my relatives, and left me
without the means to prove my identity,
poor and suffering. Both the priest and
Mrs Matty are dead. | could never dis
cover in what town it was that my mother
resided at the time of my abduction.
Should this meet the eve of anyone who
could give me information which will lead
to finding my parents and my aunt, they
will receive my thanks and prayers. Ad-
