My dear husband,

I can't bring myself to believe what you told me in this beautiful, yet very sad letter. It's insane.

I can't believe the man I loved and always will love won't come back from the war.

Caesar... You are strong and brave... You will fight, bayonet in hand and grenade in your pocket, I know it.

When you tell me you can affirm that we love each other, I don't affirm it, I acclaim to the whole world the power of our love, this love which still burns alive despite the distance which separates us.

I will be impatiently awaiting the response to this letter that I am sending you and I hope with all my heart that I will not hang around like someone who has remained on the couch while waiting for the letter, your usual beautiful letter.

PS: I received what you sent me... I will treasure it as a souvenir, I promise.
