让·梅尔莫兹 亲笔信“让”,奥兰,12月15日[1931年],致其“亲爱的妈妈”;3页八开本,信头印有“奥兰大酒店”字样。 此信写于他尝试刷新封闭赛道距离世界纪录之前(12月29日,因飞机过重而坠毁)。 他当时尚未启程: “我们一直在等待月亮,它已经开始明显变圆了,这或许能让我们在本周末前起飞。我已经受够了等待和忍耐。对于这一年,我不会感到遗憾——它除了让我神经系统疲惫不堪外,一无所获 ”。他认为他们会在圣诞节团聚:“如果我们成功了,就快速检查一下发动机,然后直奔巴黎。当然,这个想法不能让我们做蠢事,也不能让我们走得太快”……在奥兰的生活并不快乐: “我宁愿回老家……要么就去大城市”…… 他理解并感同身受地体会着母亲的忧伤:“我亲爱的妈妈,千万不要怀疑,我再重复一遍,我发自内心地深深爱着你。我永远是你唯一的儿子。 天哪,虽然我的性格因意志力的磨砺而有所改变——这让我得以在这世上争取幸福与成功,并以人类的努力与思想这般脆弱的基础来构建自己的生活——但我的本质依然如故,我也正承受着许多痛苦! 但是……我不想受苦。我紧紧地拥抱你。” 来源:- 让·梅尔莫兹(1901-1936); - 加布里埃尔·吉莱-梅尔莫兹(1880-1955); - 随后由后代传承于家族之中
