 Item — Box: Blaess Box 2A
Reference code: 296/3/19

Scope and Contents

Blaess wishes her mother a Happy Birthday and insists on sending her tons of love and hugs. She updates them on 'Grand père's' health (probably her grand father) and the rest of the family's. Everybody send them love. She find her grandpa well. She likes the way he is treated and thinks the woman taking care of him is well. Blaess recounts that this woman was able to discern her and Yolande's characters by looking at them (Yolande is easily offended, loving, will be unhappy, good at housekeeping; Blaess is jealous, stubborn, temperamental, will be more unhappy than Yolande, energetic, fine tastes). This letter is quite short.
