THE VOSS PAPERS

Other Addresses

Smaller stops, each one turning up in the ledgers more often than the family cares to explain. More will be added as the archive turns them up.

Two men face each other in a Spanish study under a portrait of a king, a third man watching from the left.

Governor Miró's House

In 1787, James Wilkinson swears allegiance to Spain here. The portrait on the wall has a story of its own.
A man in a blue coat bowing low over a woman's hand in a yellow gown, at a candlelit evening gathering, other guests watching.

The Vauclare Plantation

Where Supervía and Élise Tebieux first met, on the Vauclare sugar plantation. The painted evening is on the Théodorville page.
Élise and a dark-haired, mustached man in black facing each other across a single candle in a dim warehouse stacked with barrels and crates.

Jean Lafitte's Warehouse

Where Élise went when something needed arranging in person, never more urgently than in the weeks before January 1815.
A woman in blue bent over a fresh grave among a field of plain wooden crosses, crying out, a man beside her steadying her.

The Graveyard

The one time the family's papers record Élise Tebieux losing her composure. They don't say over whom.
