He learns from Henri [Mahé] "that you would be very kind to send me 1 kilo of butter and 3 Camemberts. Just think how much I bless you and wish you all the best for 1941! Butter is a rarity around here". As soon as he received it, he sent a money order. "If I had no fear of bothering you, I would ask you at your convenience to think of me as often as possible for similar providences"... He signs DESTOUCHES and gives his address as "11 Rue MARSOLLIER PARIS".
