Joseph and Katy talk about what we call “the Lobel-Mahy notebook.” It is indeed a correspondence book - a sort of outbox - written by hand in French by Ivan de Lobel-Mahy, Laura's uncle by marriage. In this notebook, de Lobel-Mahy details the recipients, dates and content of the letters sent to his various friends, relations and acquaintances. The two small excerpts, the images of which you can see on our website at https://www.lauraplantation.com/news/post/podcast-s1-e10, give us a window into all sorts of details about family, social, and political life in October 1876.
