"Life is so dreadful that we should all end up there. "My little Georges, Your letter from yesterday has left me in despair. I have sent for news, not like Paris! But in the meantime, you wrote to me. Perhaps at the moment I am writing to you, the suffering has subsided.

But I do not know. I will not know anything until tomorrow morning.

And what a sad night I am going to have! If the calculation could work out, if these horrible sufferings could have been effective and fruitful. Alas, I dare not hope for it. It's barbaric to say hope when you think of the anguish it would be for your mother to be expelled. But what physical and moral relief afterwards. No more fear of intervention. I dare not hope for so much. But I would like to think that while I am writing to you, your mother is no longer in so much pain, is resting, not forced to take so much morphine, is not discouraged, that you do not have your eyes of anguish, but your beautiful smiling face, that your father is reassured. Alas, what a cruel life you have and if you only knew how much I suffer from it, how I am constantly focused on you, dear Georges, what a delightful joy when your mother is relieved of this calculation.

I have never asked you if your mother was religious, found solace in prayer. Life is so dreadful that we should all end up there.

Alas, it is not enough to want. Goodbye Georges, I almost feel intrusive to be so sad as if I were taking a place in your family where I am not invited.
