 Item — Box: Blaess Box 2A
Reference code: 296/3/20

Scope and Contents

Very short letter (1 page) to update her parents on the money they sent her and that she received (2000 francs). Blaess will go to the theatre with Norah, Nora's boyfriend, some friends of Norah's and a young boy Norah is eager for her to meet. Aunt is moody and Blaess doesn't want to upset her so she does what she is told. She wasn't planning on buying a hat but she did and she loves it. She thinks it suits her. Nobody seem to recognise her with it and she is pleased with that. She says the weather is very nice, spring-like. The captain is on leave in Rennes with his son.
