GAULLE Charles de. L. A. (the end is missing), [Colomb-Béchar] 11 March 1957, to his wife Yvonne de GAULLE ; 2 pages in-8 on his letterhead Le Général de Gaulle. Trip to Algeria. "My dear little wife, This note is written to you from Colomb-Béchar. I have a rather heavy and tense impression of the Algerian rebellion and of neighbouring Morocco. But not a bad impression locally. A lot of troops (relatively speaking). The troops look good. I'm sad to be away from you for the first time in many years. But the atmosphere here, and what I'm told will happen in Tindouf and Atar, confirm my certainty that there was no other option. I saw Lacoste and Salan"... LNC, II, p. 1243.
