MERMOZ Jean
L.A.S. ‘Jean’, Buenos Aires, 30 August [1928], to his ‘Beloved Mum’; 1 page, in-4, on Aeroposta paper.
She needn’t worry about not hearing from me: ‘We’ve had three letters lost in Mauritania, all sent at the same time from Dakar and coming from South America. […] I’ve just arrived from Chile a few hours ago. It’s late. The post is leaving shortly and I’ve barely a few minutes to write to you. […] But I’ve got so much work to do with this Chilean route! And then a telegram from Paris telling me I’m off on a study trip to Peru, Bolivia and the Republic of Ecuador. I’m setting off on a special flight for a month. A wonderful, though unexpected, journey lies ahead. […] I plan to leave for Peru in 15 days”…
Correspondence, no. 145.
