Charles
de Gaulle to Pamela Digby Churchill
January 10, 1942 [Translated from French]
Dear Madame:
I permit myself to send you an old book of pictures of Marlborough
for your son Winston. It is about the only thing I brought with
me from France.
When the young Winston Churchill later looks at these Caran d'Ache
sketches he will possibly think about a French general who was,
in history's greatest war, the sincere admirer of his grandfather
and the loyal ally of his country.
Kindly accept, dear Madame, my very respectful regards.
