Description :
Authentic handwritten letter dated October 14, 1943, written in Marseille and addressed to "Ma chère Geneviève". This period document, written in blue ink on a sheet of lined paper, features regular cursive handwriting, typical of private correspondence during World War II. The text is neatly arranged on a single page, showing the entire front side, without any illustrations or printed letterhead. The handwriting is fluid, with some underlining and variations in ink intensity, indicating careful writing.
The letter discusses personal and family matters, including baccalaureate results, references to acquaintances (Mireille, Jaume Fouquet, Jaume Tardieu, Jacqueline de la Rochetaillée), as well as considerations about studies and the context of the time. The author explicitly mentions the city of Marseille at the top right, as well as the precise date, reinforcing the authenticity of the historical testimony.
The paper shows a slightly yellowed appearance and marked creases, probably due to prolonged folding and storage. No logo, watermark, or manufacturer's mark is visible on the shown side. The text remains perfectly legible over the entire exposed surface, without any notable stains or fading on the visible part.
