Henri to Yvette.

650 Gen Tpt Coy
Italy

17 May 1944

I have had no news from you in 12 days. Your last letter was dated the 1^st May and I received it on the 6^th. Yvette, my love, my anxiety has never been greater than now. I don’t know why, but that’s how it is. I can’t explain your long silence. Simply postal caprice?  But my friends have already received letters from Palestine dated the 12^th… What has happened?… If you are not writing because you want to conceal something that will upset me, you are mistaken. Nothing upsets me more than this silence… Yvette, my darling, is it that something not good happened with Ouri?.. Oh little wife, you the most beloved of women, Yvette my beautiful, love me, darling,

love me.
