Charles de GAULLE (1890-1970). L.A.S., Colombey-les Deux Églises August 7, 1946, to General Édouard Corniglion-Molinier; 2pages small in-4 on his letterhead Le Général de Gaulle, autograph envelope (binder holes). On England. He has read his book [Le Journal du F. L. Smith-Brown ou Les mémoires d'un Fafliste malgré lui, under the pseudonym Dan Moligny]: "It's full of ideas and philosophy, not to mention the moving memories. Nothing will prevent the English from being, for us, something other than the children of 'l'Île inconnue'. Nothing will stop them from finding us elusive. And yet, we and they are each other's closest neighbors. We shall live or perish together"... Enclosed is a carte de visite with 4 lines a.s. "C.G.", thanking for an "interesting communication" (binder holes).
