Description This listing is for an old handwritten letter, dated 1918, consisting of two sheets visible in the photo. The entire text is written in black ink on cream-colored paper, characteristic of common papers from the early 20th century. The handwritten script, careful and regular, fills almost every page. The correspondence is presented on rectangular sheets, one of which has a folded upper right corner, while the other shows a partially missing lower left corner, indicating old handling.
The text, although partially legible in the image, reveals an intimate epistolary style, typical of family exchanges during the First World War period. Several passages are signed or punctuated by first names, confirming the personal nature of the writing. Certain keywords, such as "maman" (mom) or "samedi" (Saturday), are identifiable, reinforcing the authenticity of the letter and its historical value. The ink shows a slight patina, with no apparent smudging or excessive discoloration, indicating stable preservation conditions.
