MOULIN Jean (1889-1943) préfet et célèbre résistant

L.A.S. "Jean", Chartres 23 July 1940, to his sister Laure MOULIN, in Montpellier| 3 pages in-8, envelope.
Family letter at the beginning of the Occupation, when he was still prefect of Eure-et-Loir.
He hopes that she will have been able to take some rest, with the official date of the holidays. "I also hope that you will be allowed to leave your post to go and spend at least a month in Saint-Andiol. I guess Montpellier must be pretty hot and overcrowded right now. I have a lot of work here, but now everyone is pretty much in place and we are adapting to the new life little by little. This morning I heard from Gouzy, the mayor of Jouy (near Chartres) who is from Magalas and who had returned from Béziers the day before. He saw Odette Chabardès there. I hope you have good news from St Jean du Bruel, and that mummy still likes it there. Today I received a letter from Catherine who is at Aurillac. She asks me if she has to go back. Given her state of health I do not advise her to do so. I haven't heard from Brottes for almost two months now. At that time he had gone somewhere in the East as an infantry midshipman. Perhaps he was taken prisoner"...
