Correspondence from Leah Hirsig to Aimée Gouraud

 

     

 

Sept. 26, 1924 e.v. [circa]

 

 

Dearest Aimée,

 

This to tell you, in case I don't see you any more, that you have been a great factor in the Great Work.

     

You were the only real doctor I had for you gave me strength to live long enough to finish up my work

     

I love you. I want you to have the little miniature of me when I was 16 painted by my sister. Norman Mudd will give it to you.

     

Understand that you are not to think that A.C. deserted me. He did not. He liberated me. I die, not as you imagine through neglect by him but in service to the Work which we united to do. He and I are One, nay are None.

     

When you see him you will understand.

 

Lovingly,

 

Leah.
