Description
Letter only, no envelope. The full name of the receiver is derived from the content, the date from the fact that this letter was attached to the dated letter from Jacques to Rubin Lipchitz, most probably for passing to Jeanne Bucher (probably, it was not passed in this case).
In this letter Berthe and Jacques Lipchitz tell to 'Jeanne' [Bucher] that Jacques works a lot 'as only can a person arrived from the place where are you now' [meaning the part of the France occupied by Nazis]. But he calls the place where he is [most probably, Toulouse, in the 'Vichy France', an 'unhuman ambiance'. He also tells: 'there is definitely nothing Pignon' and describe some other friends, like 'charming little girl Claire' and 'Sibyle'. He asks Jeanne to 'help Jenny' (see the correspondence between J.Lipchitz and 'Jenny') and to pass his news to [Pierre] Dubaut.
