Les vacances de Nöel elle compte passer à Paris et sì vous êtes toujours à Buzy et ça ne vous gêne pas, elle voudrait sì bien y passé un jour où deux. Je lui aì si souvent parlé de tout ce quí s'est passe là et de vous. Et elle m'est tellement chère que je voudrais qu'elle voit tout. Seulement c'est toujours possible qu'elle n'aura pas le temps oú qu'elle n'ira pas à Paris. Mais si c'est possible peut-être on peut arrangé un voyage jusqu'à Buzy.
