MERMOZ, Jean L.A.S. “Jean,” Buenos Aires, August 30 [1928], to his “Dearest Mom”; 1 page, in-4, on Aeroposta paper. She shouldn’t worry about not hearing from me: “We’ve had three letters lost in Mauritania that were sent at the same time from Dakar and came from South America. […] I just arrived from Chile a few hours ago. It’s late. The mail is leaving shortly, and I have barely a few minutes to write to you. […] But I’m so swamped with work on this Chilean route! And then a telegram from Paris has sent me off on a study trip to Peru, Bolivia, and the Republic of Ecuador. I’m leaving on a special plane for a month. A wonderful—though unexpected—trip lies ahead. […] I plan to leave for Peru in 15 days”… Correspondence, No. 145. Source: - Jean Mermoz (1901–1936); - Gabrielle Gillet-Mermoz (1880–1955); - Then passed down through the family
