GAULLE Charles de. L. A. S. "Your husband C.", [London], 8 December 1940, to his wife Yvonne de Gaulle, at Pettswood; 2 pages in-4 headed Le Général de Gaulle He was unable to write to his "dear little wife": "My week has been a terrible rush". He was able to see their son Philippe in Portsmouth on Friday: "He was very well. He was the right-hand man (the tallest) in the guard of honour who presented me with the arms on the Théodore Tissier. I was able to talk to him for a few minutes afterwards. The school made a good impression on me. It's a good environment and I know that Philippe is doing well there. After all, it's a risky choice to join the French Navy at the moment! But what's the point? He's hoping to come and spend the weekend on Saturday... LNC, I, p. 1095
