  • French translation please

    My schoolgirl French is worse than I thought!

    Please can someone translate this for me?

    Je prie mes parens et mes amis de croire tout ce que le docteur O'Meara leur dira relativement a la position ou je me trouve et aux sentimens que je conserve. S'il voit ma bonne Louise, je la prie de permettre qu'il lui baise la main.

    Thanks.

    *Looks round nervously to see if Mlle Dubois is listening*

    I beg my parents and my friends to think of all that Dr O'Meara has written relative to the position in which I find myself and the sentiments (feelings) I hold. If you see my beautiful Louise I beg it will be permitted to kiss her hand.

      We think it says :

      I pray that my parents and friends believe everything that Doctor O'Meara tells them about my position, where I am and the feelings that I have. If he sees my beautiful (good ?) Louise I give him permission to kiss her hand.

      Someone else may be able to correct this !

        Thanks, OC and Simon - merci?



        Funny your Mam'zelle was a Dubois, OC, one of these O'Meara's married a Dubois so I was a bit confused to see the name!

          LOL Jen, she was no more a Dubois than I am - spoke in a broad Lancashire accent when she wasn't pretending to be French!

              Thanks Loz, I just checked - wikipedia says his second wife was Marie Louise (the note was written by Napoleon).
