TWO AUTOGRAPH LETTERS FROM 1941 AND 1946 addressed by Colette to M. Brocard, her wine merchant, 25 rue du nouveau Bercy. ." Thursday - Dear friend, what a summer! A cure to leave on the side of harder than me. And I have to wait four months for its effects. There's one left, but it's hard. And not a drop to drink! Maurice will phone you as soon as our internal move is complete. We're swapping rooms, so I'll be warm enough all winter. May we see you soon! You'll think I look a bit small. But I still love you all, and I send you my love. Colette ". ." 9 rue de Beaujolais - Dear Mr. Brocard, I've misplaced your bill. Could you tell me how much it is? If you can send me some wine, I'd be very happy. Wine goes down easily when the thermometer goes up! Please accept my warmest regards. Enclosed: GRAPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF COLETTE'S WRITING Done in 1949, which states "Sensuality: controlled after the first impulse".
