June 12, 1912. When teachers report on school progress but the postcard is of the military barracks — the tallest building in Medea?

Chers Parents

Nous avons reçu votre carte hier. Merci des renseignements, c’est très intéressant. Mimi lit le journal et Georgette commence à très bien syllaber. Nous sommes très contents des progrès de nos petits mioches. Bon baiser de nous quatre. Remi

Dear Parents

We received your card yesterday. Thank you for the information, it’s very interesting. Mimi reads the paper and Georgette is starting with phonics. We are very happy with our little ones’s progress. Big kiss from all four of us. Remi.
