I translated this sweet message, adding punctuation to make it more understandable. Marseilles 11/9/1917: My dear little Léone (Leonie?) darling.
I send you this little demoiselle to say hello to you [as} your Papa is so far away, and who last Saturday was still with you, said goodnight to you in your pretty bed and prickled you a little with his beard to give you a stronger caress. This Saturday, deprived of this happiness, I send you again the very sweet caress from Marseilles and a thousand kisses. Your dear Papa who loves you much, much, much.
Thanks for providing a translation of the message. I agree with you, the message is incredibly sweet. The art of letter, or postcard writing, is becoming extinct. Instead we have replaced the creativity and intimacy of such writing with terse and non descriptive text messages and emails. Thanks again for the translation.
