content: Additional handwritten text on verso reads, "Rufisque le 18 février 1919. Ma très aimée, Je crois que j'ai des chances pour partir dans les tout premiers jours du prochain mois. Mon travail sera fini d'ici quelques jours et comme le Garouna est attendu a Dakar vers le 2 ou le 3 mars, il est probable que je partirai avec lui à condition toutefois qu'il y ait de la place a bord. Ici pas grand chose de nouveau. Il fait toujours très chaud mais très sec ce qui n'est pas désagréable. Ce qui le sera moins le mois prochain c'est d'être obligé de s'emmitouffler jusqu'aux oreilles mais c'est vrai que j'aurai d'autres compensations qui feront paraitre la transition moins horrible."

content: Translated handwritten text on verso reads, "Rufisque February 18, 1919. My dear beloved, I believe that I have opportunities for leaving in the very first days of next month. My work will be finished a few days from now and as the Garouna is expected in Dakar towards the 2nd or the 3rd of March it is probable that I will leave with it on the condition however that there is room on board. Nothing much new here and it is always very hot and very dry, which is not uncomfortable. What will be less next month is to be forced to bundle up to one's ears but it is true that I will have other concessions, which would make the transition less horrible."
