Henri to Yvette

650 Gen Tpt Coy

Jan 5.

Two letters, after a long delay, one dated 27^th the other 28, Very worried. But not really, because deep down certitude. Impertinence? 15 days without news. Terrible!

Certitude of their future. Jokes that her becoming a sergeant is not grounds for divorce. H

“I walk among my comrades crying “In the whole Army there is at least one Sergeant that I love and how much!”

“So my wife has become a sergeant)?). So those three stripes are official confirmation of Yvette’s intelligence. Not for me, oh no! But for the world.”

“The same day as your two letters I received a telegram from Manka. She wished me a year of victory and peace. Isn’t that nice of her? She knows without a doubt how I pine for peace – and for you.”
