My sweet darling,

Yesterday I arrived back with my Company. It’s disgusting. I feel like a new recruit. In general I am a military pietre, as for now after having been a month outside the walls of this military machine! After having spent a month with you, Yvette. No, no, and NO! I cannot put up with the idea of waiting still another 8 or 9 months before seeing you again. I am like an enraged one.  I can’t find my place. I’ve had more than enough of this place. No more camaraderie, no more society. Each man thinks of himself, of his discharge, each is enclosed in his own dreams, fears and unhappiness. Day and night I think of you….[He’s laying on the love so thickly in order to persuade her that she loves him and wants him. Even more than the early letters, his desperation is showing. Deep down he knows? That he’s not going to win this time – AI]

“What are you doing now, Henry? Why do you read the newspaper, wouldn’t it be better to think about Yvette. About your Yvette, It’s not the newspaper you want to read. You want to think about your darling”…..

…Last night by chance Adina and Dido were passing through Bologna and came to see me. What a celebration! But my God, what do you want me to tell you? I asked them to put me some questions preantes and tried to reply. At the end of some time, after some replies, I said to them “Listen, my friends, Yvette has still the same hair, the same look, the same smile, the same heart. She has the same three beauty spots almost in a straight line from the left? up to her nose, she has the same lips and the little one in the left corner of her mouth and……” And then the intelligent Adina interrupted me and said.”OK that’s enough. I know everything already.” I recognised her in that.

Your Henri
