Container Summary

Contains 2 ALS - @ c. January 1982: Merci de votre bonne lettre mon cher Constantin! Puisse cette annee 1982 etre pour vous et pour Suzy une annee favorable.... @ October 2, 1982: @@ Mon cher Constantin, Merci d'avoir pense m'ecrire de Corse! C'est une surprise depuis le long silence!...Bravo pour votre courage a peindre, en depit de la surcharge en cholesterol. Ami, je realise ce que peut-etre un obcurcissement de la partie utile du cortex! Le cerveau est un ordinateur inegale mais qui reste malgre tout fragile. Il est, en effet, vraisemblable - comme le dit votre docteur - que le cholesterol soit l'explication de votre malaise...Mais ne parlons plus de cela: vous etes retabli, c'est cela l'important... @ Leroy refers also to his own health: ...ma sante est moins sure maintenant, mais reste, dans l'ensemble, bonne.
