CÉLINE Louis-Ferdinand (1894 - 1961)
L.A.S. "Destouches" and "Louis", [Copenhagen Prison].
Wednesday, August 29, 1946, to his Danish lawyer Thorvald MIKKELSEN and to HIS WIFE LUCETTE DESTOUCHES| 2 pages large in-4 on pink paper headed Københavns Fængsler prison.
Beautiful letter from prison, mostly to his wife Lucette.
He comments for Mikkelsen on a press clipping (attached) about
Palestine: "All the same it would be good to be a doctor in Greenland!
New Palestine for the "persecuted" of my kind! But where I would be alone! With Bébert of course!"...
Then he addresses HIS WIFE, and makes a lot of various recommendations, like never taking the cat BÉBERT out without a collar: "At the slightest incident in the street, he would escape, you wouldn't find him anymore!"
She must be careful with cars, redo ultraviolet, dress warmly... He encourages her to eat, and to train for the dance: "Our goal if I get out of it must be to join France Belgium or
Switzerland as soon as possible and then quickly get back to work. We will have lost everything, we will be very old, very worn out, especially me. It will not be a question of whining but of putting [...] our poor mechanics back on track, me to find a publisher again quickly, you to take lessons. So you must always stay in shape and that is always more difficult as you get older.
[...] I assure you that if I were released I would not waste an hour getting back to work, my only remedy"...
