Édith PIAF. L.A.S. "ta petite bonne femme", January 5, 1956, [to Jacques Pills]; 2 pages in-4 (slight black discharges from the typed transcription on the 2nd page).
Beautiful letter to her first husband, Jacques Pills, as she begins her final detox.
"Mon petit bonhomme It's not even 24 hours since we parted, and already I'm beginning to realize that there's only one man like you on earth, and I don't want to lose you, I realize that I'd never be able to find you again if I lost you!"... However, these two months alone will do her a lot of good: "I think you'll find me in the same frame of mind I was in when you met me! Thank you, my good man, for helping me, for understanding! We've had so much against us, but now it's all gone! Take care of yourself my darling, find some beautiful songs and I'll be there for your comeback and so happy to see you again, that's for sure!!!! [...] Bonhomme, have faith in me as you always have and you'll see that it's the good side that will win out in me, it's the end of detox! In not even two months [...] you'll see that everything can start again!"... She signs: "I'm still your little good woman".
