François MITTERRAND – Autograph letter signed to Catherine Langeais
François MITTERRAND (1916 - 1996), statesman, President of the French Republic
Autograph letter signed to Marie-Louise Terrasse, known as Catherine Langeais. (Fort d'Ivry), November 15, 1938; 4 pages in-8°.
Superb love letter from François Mitterrand, then a young soldier at the Fort d'Ivry, who spreads his passion for love with his young fiancée and projects himself into his future life as a married
man: "My darling fiancée, Forgive me if I'm not much of a talker, it's not that I don't have anything to say to you! But I'm tired and dragging myself since this morning. If my outer mood suffers,
the inner does not move! And I love you just as much. My beloved, I am so happy to see you! Yesterday I was angry with myself for agreeing not to meet you. A lost opportunity costs me too much. And
I'm not willing to give up anything. When I say nothing to you and I wear a closed air understand that this does not affect the love I have for you. But I confessed to you, I am quite moody! I will
make your life very difficult, my darling! And yet, there is a remedy: your smile. I promise you that with such a weapon you can do anything for and against me! And I hope you will always use it. My
very little girl whom I adore, every day I think more about the future that we must build. Material side and spiritual side. And I know that I love you so much that I can't help but be happy with
you. It's very boring to be thus condemned to happiness! And then time flies! The moments I spend close to you, my fiancée, are so quick, but the memory they leave in me is so tenacious that the
balance is easily established with the moments when I suffer from being away from you but forget each other so happily! I already live with you, in spirit, perpetually. My thought is continually
linked to the last moment lived close to you, and to the next moment when I will again press you against me. My beloved, what a sum of happiness I owe you! You taught me to believe in everything I
love. My most precious possession, you cannot imagine the relentlessness, patience and will that I will put into keeping you very much to myself. I could not create in my mind a life where you would
not have the first place, and even all the place, without fear! Also my strength is great now that I am sure to have you with me. To experience the same joys and the same sorrows as you. My
Marie-Louise, I promise you that you will never have to regret your word and your gift. We both owe it to ourselves to live beautifully. You know that I draw no line between the present and the
future. When you are my wife, all will not be over. We will still have to taste life as it is: life, which does not stop. But you and I, how could we stop loving each other, and living for each
other? My darling, later I will meet you, and I look forward to this moment. Ah, words are not enough to express the need I have for you, the desire I have to recognize my almost ripe sin! When you
have read this letter you will think of me for at least a minute, and you will answer me, I will expect this answer tomorrow. You will write to me there that you love me. And then, whatever happens,
know that our love is indestructible. The links are tied: no hand can separate them. We will accept any trouble with a smile. Some, that we are of us. A single false note might have sufficed to
destroy our love: but it does not exist. And that is why I can tell you that I adore you. Francis »
