A six year old named Jean writes a letter, described as rich and thick with imagery, to the Virgin. Pere Bonin guides the child in composing the note while the writer, a quartermaster, helps shape the scene of a French settlement, a letter, and a curious ask amid daily life and poverty.
A fragment from a translated tale follows Pere Bonin and his adopted child Jean in Paris. Jean urges Bonin to write to the Holy Virgin about a sleeping woman, his mother, whose cold body haunts him.
