4 (?) July 1881
My dear Pauline,
I am happy to write to you. I wish you a happy birthday because You know that I could not wish it to You on Wednesday on your birthday.
I hope you have a lot of fun in houlgate, I would like to know if you rode a donkey.
I thank you very much for giving me leave while you are at houlgat. It would give me great pleasure if You wrote to Marie that You also write me a little note.
If You knew the Day of Saint Domitia my Aunt put me a pink sinture and I threw roses to Saint domitia. Don't show my letter to anyone.
Goodbye my dear little Pauline I kiss you with all my heart. kiss Marie-Thérèse and little Marguerite for me.
Your little Thérèse who loves you.
