JUIN Alphonse (1888-1967). L. A. S., Paris, 29 December 1957, to General de GAULLE; 2 pages in-8 on his letterhead Le Maréchal Juin. Appeal for General de Gaulle's return to power. New Year's wishes... " When I say "best wishes" and address myself to you, I'm certainly thinking first and foremost of our country. Where is it going? We've been asking ourselves that for the last twelve years, as we've watched the wavering of a line that, at this rate, will soon end up leaving us with nothing that we were entitled to consider certain. - And yet, not so long ago, you got us used to following one, yours, which, by the firmness of its line, a line that never deviated, kept all our hopes alive, whatever difficulties we had to overcome at the time. I wish, you see, that your voice could still be heard, and I imagine that it can still find the opportunity in the final part of your memoirs. Please don't end them with the turning point in your life when you deliberately gave up power. Let them be extended into the future with profound views. A divided France, now listening, awaits this cry"... At the top, de Gaulle wrote: "I have replied".
