Enclosed stamped envelopes. - La vie sous l'occupation. "You can say and struggle all you want, Ostophagi and Christicoles are Kabbalists. That's the obvious. We'll see what happens next... In the meantime we of the short insect life find a way to die of impatience. Nothing happens intimately. Everything happens on the plane or in the newspapers. That means nowhere for sowbugs. I can see you buttering up the potted butter, branding the hen with a branding iron, numbering the salsify. Happy famine. If you're bored in your Capua think of us and come to us. You must have a thousand things to tell us. As do we. Daily bread is increasingly coveted. The melee grows more sour and obnoxious. But your gull? You don't tell me anything about it.

Let's not stifle this capital deposition (as we really want to!) which can save my glottis! Oh, there would be many more favorable depositions! but where to reach the witnesses! This is a witchcraft trial! Huddle up! Huddle up everywhere! I'd go if I wasn't so sick. I tried to get up three days ago... I was dragged from a ditch... But honor first! France first! Long live death too! So sweet! These people who want you so much! Death! Let them scream, what idiots! I'll write to you after the bullfight!"
