Documents on the October Crisis

Letter of Pierre Laporte to his Wife

Letter written on October 12, 1970 at 7h:00 AM

My love,

I am well, in good health, and I had a good night.

I insist so that you and the children will take things in such a way that you will not endanger your health.

I think of you constantly, and this helps me bear it all.

The important thing is that the authorities stir themselves.

My love to you all.

Pierre
