content: Additional handwritten text on verso reads, "Il y a beaucoup d'animation ici soit dans le port, soit dans la ville qui est très commercante. La vie y est très chere, mais peu importe puisque nous vivons a bord. Le pauvre oncle Charles était venu autrefois ici, à Conakry aussi. Il y a beaucoup d'Européens et à midi il y a autant de monde dehors que le soir. Il est vrai que c'est l'hiver en France. Ici on ne le dirai pas! Mais c'est très supportable. J'espère que vous allez bien ainsi que Papa. Je vous embrasse bien affectueusement et vous aime beaucoup. Marcel."

content: Translated handwritten text on verso reads, "There is a lot of animation here in both the harbor and the city, which is very commercial. Life is very expensive but little matter because we live on board. Poor uncle Charles had come another time here, to Conakry also. There are a lot of Europeans and at noon there are as many people outside as in the evening. It's true that it's winter in France, here one wouldn't say so! But it's very comfortable. I hope that you are well, and Papa also. Affectionate kisses and I love you a lot, Marcel."
