« Announce the sending of the history of the commune finally published..»

Louise Michel announces the publication of her work on the Paris Commune.

“My dear comrade Alexandra Roy, Thank you a thousand times for the books of which we have only been able to read part while being in a hurry. You will have a letter about this in a few days. Here is just a word to announce the sending of the history of the commune which has finally been published. We arrived from Paris where we didn't have a minute. This is the first letter I wrote. Charlotte, I, Achille and his brother, we embrace you with all our hearts. L. Michel.

Continuing the missive, Charlotte Vauvelle sends her regards to comrade Roy.

La Commune at Stock “To write this book is to relive the terrible days when freedom, brushing against us with its wing, flew away from the slaughterhouse; it is to reopen the bloody pit where, under the tragic dome of the fire, the beautiful Commune fell asleep for its wedding with death, the red wedding of martyrdom. »
