J'espère que vous serez libres car c'est le dernier jour. Sinon, tu serais gentille de me prévenir pour que j'envoie d'autres amis. Je suis chez moi demain, mais pas jeudi. Je pense que je vais chez Bassot demain. Si tu peux passé, viens tard dans la soirée. Je t'embrasse. Souvenir à ton père. Huguette"

Ask at the control for Madame RIP's seats. I hope you will be free because it is the last day. If not, would you be kind enough to let me know so that I can send other friends. I'm home tomorrow, but not Thursday. I think I'm going to Bassot tomorrow. If you can pass, come late in the evening. I kiss you. Remembrance of your father (Eugène Léon FLORAT 1869-Died Nov. 21, 1954). Huguette (Born Madeleine Marthe Huguette CAUDRON)
