Description

Letter sent by Jacques Lipchitz. He writes to Dubaut that he is worried he hasn't received any news or heard from him. He writes that he is still at the same place, stuck, while waiting to be 'summoned' and how hard he finds it. He says that his brother has enrolled for the war and that Berthe Lipchitz is worried. He writes about Monsieur Bleneau not being able to cancel his deal with him and so Lipchitz should be paid 7.000 francs. Lipchitz also writes about his financial struggles and thanks the recipient for his help, saying that he wouldn't be anywhere without it.
