Text: - Pompenea, 14.2.20: "I have just spent nearly two months here with splendid weather, beautiful sunshine, blue skies at last a little like the climate of this country we love so much! I too have received letters from my sister Isabelle and my nieces; they are in good health in spite of the flu which is raging in Larache like everywhere else" - Château de Randan, August 17, 20: "I have not had a moment to come and tell you how deeply your letters have touched me and the immense joy I felt reading them! I have not forgotten you, dear Yvonne, how could I forget you all and erase the memory of our dear presence? I have infinite tenderness for you and nothing can change it! You understand me and I understand you! The being so good in the midst of so much sadness and disillusionment to feel a sincere and unalterable tenderness! We have understood each other without wanting it, without looking for it on either side, and that is why the feeling is greater than anything else! I cannot think without a very sweet emotion of your last visit; I come out of my ex-Eastern sanctuary and it seemed to me that the three of us were still there and my heart was beating very fast!" - Palacio de Villamanriqué, 10-3-21: "Then my sister is in good shape, I love her so much that everything contributed to my happiness! Here I am very happy too; I love this place, the people, the hunting, everything, but it is not the same thing! My sister Louise receives me very, very well. I hunt every day, but !!! It's not the same, n
