“Dear friend, thank you very much for your kind letter of congratulations. You are too nice for me! I was very happy to please my niece. Mom and Marguerite [her sister Marguerite] are currently resting at my house in Sceaux and we are very happy to be reunited as a family. Mom enjoys her grandchildren all day and this stay does her a lot of good morally and physically. I received a charming letter from your son. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you very affectionately soon. F. Joliot. »
