Altitude. Forests of Cypers. Flowers of Europe. But it is cold in Brigne! And what work with moving house. To add to that the birth approaches. I was quite tired this last time. This is going ...for a few days. And yourselves how are you doing? Has Monique established herself? Arthur was telling us that he is concerned on this subject. Give him our fond friendship. Send us a small card to give us news. That will give us a lot of pleasure. Our best wishes to you all. Monsieur et Madame Falmagne, 2 rue de l'escadrou, Etler Ceek, Bruxelles."
