Letter from Alice to Salloum Mokarzel

A letter from Alice to her father, Salloum Mokarzel, written in Beirut, Greater Syria (modern-day Lebanon). In this letter, dated December 7, 1925, Alice tells her father about the eventful week she had. On Sunday, Alice, her mother, her siblings, and other family members gathered for a photoshoot. A few days after, the new general of France came to visit Lebanon and a special welcoming ceremony was held for his arrival. Twenty girls dressed in white walked in uniform lines and paid the general respect. Alice and Lila were two of those girls. Lila was one of the line leaders. Alice is really happy because time is passing quickly and she knows it won't be very long until she reunites with her father.
