Description
[Translation/transcription]
Villeneuve
Dear Pamela and Pepi,
Did you ever suspect Chatin of being a writer? Look!!! Please investigate.
We are still well, surrounded by bad flu on all sides, living practically in quarantine, seeing nobody. We have to, as this is so bad that it might be dangerous for OK. Let us hope we can keep out of it.
Keep as well as you can and look after yourselves. Come to see us later when things are back to normal. Love yours
Olda
A little belated I send you both my most heartily greetings and wishes for Xmas and a very lucky New Year 1970 if possible a few more medalls for Pepi as toys to play with. It is terribly cold here. I would like to spend the day in bed but have to get up for breakfast and shaved and washed, what a pity, it is modern civilisation, the good people during the stone-age had not yet got shaving blades
I love you both (and my little witch)
Yours devoted OK
