The children are not too bored - They play with other Europeans who live across from us. Jacques speaks often about his mémé (granny) who will come and stay with us. Marie Therese has made a lot of progress in talking but I believe that he will be jeoulous of the other little girl; he always wants to be in my arms to be caressed. My husband has been assigned to the railways. I hope your health is good as well as that of Suzanne and Maurise and your family. Good tidings from us to Simone as well as your employees - Please accept dear Sir and madame our best friendships."
