GAULLE Charles de. L. A. S. "Your husband C.", Douala, 22 October [1940], to his wife Yvonne de Gaulle, in Pettswood; 2 pages in-4. During his tour of Africa. "My dear little wife, I am writing to you from here, after a grand tour by plane of all the important points in Cameroon and Chad. The spirit is excellent. Tomorrow I will go to Bangui and from there to Brazzaville where I will stay for a while. Everything is going well. But the task is a heavy one, both materially and morally. I have to accept - and I do accept - all the consequences of this tragedy, in which events have made me one of the main players. Whoever is the most determined will win out in the end, not only in fact but also in the minds of the sheepish masses"... He hopes to return to London at the end of November... LNC, I, p. 1063.
