Notes

Translation of Item: "Madam,
I have come to respond to the letter from Madam that I received a few days ago.
I should have my passport this week, and as soon as I have it I'm going to Paris, which is essential for the rest of my papers.
As Madam asks me, I am attaching a photo and my necessary details.
I was born on April 28, 1923 in Pleurtuit.
I'm 1m 58[cm], and I weigh 55kg.
Light brown 'hair'. Blue gray 'eyes'. Rectilinear 'Nose' general shape and oval face. Clear 'complexion'.
I hope that this information will suffice, Madam, besides those given on my passport and identity card.
I hope I won't have to wait as long for my visa as Louise but even if I have to I will know how long to wait.

Believe me, Madam, you have my respectful greetings.

Angele Hamon"
