Petit Roland est magnifique et tu comprends ma joie de pouvoir m'en occuper! Il ressemble tout à fait à notre Eric. Notre Kihi toujours la même gaie et espiègle. Nous avons tant de plaisir ensemble. Christian si fier de son fils! J'ai écrit une longue lettre à Dedette. Très gros kiss de la tante Rilette qui pense à toi."

Kihi is fully recovered but rests still very much, we went back to her with great joy, finding calm and rest, always the flowers and a burning sun! Little Roland is superb and you will appreciate my joy at being able to take care of him. He looks very much like our Eric. Our Kihi always the same, gay and playful. We have so much fun together. Christian is so proud of his son! I wrote a long letter to Dedette. Very big kisses from your Aunt Rilette who thinks about you."
