The document is written in blue ink on a cream-white sheet of paper, with a central horizontal fold. The neat, cursive handwriting covers both the main page and the margins, indicating a personal and intimate post-war correspondence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe letter is distinguished by the density of its text, with the sender also using the left margin and upper part to add words, demonstrating a desire to maximize available space. The main text begins with \"Chère maman,\" (Dear Mom,) and evokes a daily life marked by loneliness, references to nature, and the anticipation of a certain mail or visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper right corner, the full date \"lundi 5 juillet 48\" (Monday, July 5, 48) is visible, along with a partial address \"106, des rosi...\" (the rest of the street name is not visible). The blue ink is slightly faded in places, but overall well-preserved for the period. No logo, stamp, or official mark is present on the visible side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper has a smooth appearance, typical of correspondence from the late 1940s. The letter is placed on a dark wooden table, accompanied by an old inkwell visible in the background, which emphasizes the contemporary writing context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe edges of the sheet show slight undulations, with no apparent tears on the visible side. There are traces of handling, consistent with a period document that has circulated and been preserved for several decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed letter, sold as is.
