H. Poincaré to Eugénie Launois

[Sans date]

Ma chère maman,

Il n’y a naturellement rien de neuf; nous avons rallonge et prolonge; nous sortons lundi. Je pourrais vous annoncer comme vieille nouvelle que M. Plock est parti comme canonnier servant de deuxième classe au 19e à Valence et a été remplacé par basoff.

Für Alina

2 Is this woman miss Courtet

3 Is this atom of the family of the oxygen, chlore, azote or silicium

4 Is this composed an acid or an oxid

[XXX]

9 Was the atom, in the first péripety, without any other atom, or in binary, ternary, etc. composed. You have understood very good what I have writen to you in the English language; but I have not found that she concealed herself behind her great father. I never have lost her of sight.

Erratum, the other day, I have written to you: “Dreyfuss fand” I ought to have writen “Dreyfuss found”.
