MERMOZ, Jean 2 letters “Jean,” July–August 1926, to his “Dearest Mom”; 2 pages each, in-4 format. Casablanca, July 15… “Perhaps I’ll leave for America in November after all, since the opening of the route has been delayed until December 15. I’m writing everywhere to find a plane to cross the Atlantic. Denain is helping me. Ever since the Americans started doing it, I haven’t been able to sleep; I’m boiling with frustration that not a single one of us has left yet, even though we have planes just as good as theirs. What a dream that would be for me! Forgive my selfishness, my dear Mom. It’s all because of my ideals—what can I say?”… Mainbressy, August 23. Family news. Next, Lulu takes up the pen, followed by Mrs. Gillet. Correspondence, our letters 92 and 94. Source: - Jean Mermoz (1901–1936); - Gabrielle Gillet-Mermoz (1880–1955); - Then passed down through the family
