If you can write me news of Charles, you would make me very happy. I would also like to know what you think of the war. I’ve been hearing talk of three years. Is that truly possible? I swear that Charles is one of the reasons, but not the only one, why such a long war would terrify me. At least, he has the good sense not to go back. And really, do you not find, does he not find that it would be impossible for him to go back? When I read the other day the fate of these unfortunate alpine hunters on The Hartmannswillerkopf, I had a terrible sinking feeling when imagining that Charles could have been there, and I was thankful for the little complications of his injury.
