 “Dearest Twinka, I recognize your courage in caring for your friends despite your suffering. Vava keeps me informed of your state of health, which I would like to be better. Mine is full of mischief and fantasy. Maurice and I are waiting for the Constellation and the various strikes to allow us to go to Monte Carlo to enjoy a sun that is said to be brilliant… From there, I will remember your dear friendship. From here I kiss you and Maurice is your respectful friend, Colette.”
