Transcription Notes:
In the date stamp, there is an incomplete number before the 8, I assume it is a 2, making the date 28 MAI, especially as the letter is written on 27 May. But as it is in-between options it is unclear. A [?] was used, but a notation should possibly be made that it is probably 28 MAI
