GAULLE Charles de. L. A. S. "Ton Père C.G.", [La Boisserie] 6 November 1970, to his son Capitaine de vaisseau Philippe de GAULLE in Brest; 3 pages in-8 headed Le Général de Gaulle, envelope enclosed. "My dear Philippe, Your best wishes for a happy holiday, which you sent me in writing before telling me in person, gave me the greatest pleasure and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. For the planned construction, the General made 400,000 francs available to his son: "In my mind, this puts you in a position to pay for the land you have bought and to carry out most of the work. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the total cost were to exceed somewhat the sum I have deposited with Mr Mouton. In order for me to be able to provide the balance in full knowledge of the facts, I would ask you to send me your architect's project and estimate as soon as possible. So there goes your Charles! This must be affecting Henriette somewhat, and we are thinking of her on this occasion. As you know, Jean came to see us here and we were very pleased. May this house be an emotional reunion centre for our family, as long as your Mum and I are here, and your Mum after me, but also, I hope, around you and Henriette when we are gone! LNC, III, p. 1169.
