Beirut - 8th May 1926
Dear Uncle and Aunt,
I am surprised not to have heard from you
for more than a month since I wrote to you. Don’t you know my address? I
hope that you are still well. Here I am fine, except that it is warmer than
at home. The heat is torrid. I think that you’ll return to France soon, at
the beginning of the winter I believe, except for myself, it will be at the
beginning of March, another 295 days to go in this country of Bedouins.
It’ll happen one day. Send me your news, support (?), Because I have the
blues there are only letters to console me a little. Everyone in France are
well, I often get letters. I am enclosing a picture of families from
Damascus, it is a very pretty country to visit, and there are a lot of
English people on car trips.
I’ll finish because I do not have much
space, and in the hope of receiving your news soon, I send you my best
wishes (kisses).
