Description from the seller

Signed handwritten letter by Charles de Gaulle to 'Cada' [his sister-in-law Marie Vendroux, wife of Yvonne's brother], following the death of his godmother, Lucie Droulers. 2 pages in octavo. November 26, 1957.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, my dear Cada, for your affectionate words. My Aunt Maillot-Droulers was, indeed, very dear to me. She carries with her the feeling I had that a vanished past still had something alive. She was a woman of integrity who, during the French drama, never ceased to be with all her soul, with me.
Goodbye and, I hope, see you soon, my dear Cada. Yvonne and I send you and Jacques our deepest affections. Your brother: Charles
Lucie Droulers (1866-1957) was both the aunt by marriage and the godmother of Charles de Gaulle; she had married Jules Maillot, the brother of De Gaulle's mother, Jeanne Maillot.
