My friend,
Knowing you [have been] stopped is a deep sadness. Have the courage to remain calm—after all,
you will find there a new source of energy.
You have been put to the test so many times, and always seem to benefit from what seemed to
stop you.
But we are sad, shocked, and good for nothing. Our prayers are with you.
I send my fondest wishes,
May God keep you, My Friend,
Nadia B.
[P.S.] How Nicolas loves you, it’s very touching.

Mon ami,
Vous savoir arrêté est un grand chagrin. Ayez le courage de rester tranquille, après tous,
vous y trouverez une nouvelle forme d’activité.
Tant de fois vous avez été éprouvé et avez toujours tiré parti de ce qui semblait vous
immobiliser.
Mais nous sommes tristes, bouleversé et bon à rien. L’esprit tendu vers vous.
Je vous embrasse très fort
Dieu vous garde, Mon Ami,
Nadia B
[P.-S.] Que Nicolas vous aime, très touchant.
