- Original hand-written address on verso, "Mademoiselle Barthès. 14 Rue de la Praternité Auxerre Youne."
- Original hand-written text on recto, "Camp d'Ambre, 9 May 1920. I shall overlook the harshness of the coloring: typical of a Malagasy editor! But the poor church dress not proclaim the wealth of the colony! A cathedral was started in the vicinity - in the stone - but funds are often running out the camp's chapel has more character even though it is yet again built in wood. We attend mass there every wednesday and the first Sunday of the month. What strength I have found there in my bad days. The sight of the nuns fends off for a while the boredom of the exile: yet one of them is of the deepest black, another only lightly coloured, the third, the mother superior is white, a creole from Mauritius."
