Description
Full text in translation:
'My dear friend,
I just received your address from Royan and I hurry to write you mine back.
We left Paris on Monday morning at 7am and we arrived here the day before yesterday at 1pm.
It's our friends, the Chareau, who are more or less from there, who brought us with them and barely avoided our accident the other day. I've only managed to take my box of drawings and some small paintings, almost no bags, we will have to see where all of this goes but for the moment, we are good. I would like to hear better news from you as these successive fatigues can?t be good for your health.
Now that you are settled, think of nothing else but to get better, Royan is a dream place for that. As for myself, I will be doing the same in my little corner, I must admit that I?m not in the best shape.
Remind me of good memories from your family and send them my love.
Your J.Lipchitz'.
