A:To friend Lo, executed in 1957
From Zao Wou-ki in Paris, France
Content:
Dear Lo,Received the letter, thank you. Finally I decide to stay in Paris for work. Sometimes I have the blues. I was sick for two days, feverish staying alone is not a fun thing, you have to bear it.
Hope to see you soon, and still I wish you happy.
Kiss Mario, Catherine for me.
Think of me a little you will have a lot of courage and happiness.
