GAULLE Charles de. L. A. S., [London], 17 November 1941, to his son Philippe de Gaulle (at the Naval School in Portsmouth); 2 pages in-8 headed Le Général de Gaulle 4, Carlton Gardens. Beautiful letter to his son, about Free France and his confidence in victory. "My dear Philippe, [...] I think you are working. What you are doing is a necessary basis for becoming a good naval officer for the present and for the future. Know how to defend yourself against too many invitations (I'm not talking, of course, about those made to you by your bosses). France's affairs are not going well. It would not be going at all without Free France. Our sacred duty, therefore, is to continue to march strong and straight. But the ignominy of Vichy goes beyond anything we can imagine. And yet, what an opportunity North Africa has! We will still win the war... My love to you. Your Dad: Charles de Gaulle". LNC, I, p. 1331.
