new year sincerest good wishes for you and yours. Please pay my respects to
Madame Allégret." Charles DeGaulle (1890-1970), the leader of the

the new Constitution was adopted, French Guinea, previously part of French West
Africa, rejected it and became an independent republic. DeGaulle retired on
April 28, 1969. 2-inch vertical tear at upper right blank margin (all paper
