Contains correspondence between JH and Monique Le Bras, with whom he had a relationship in 1938. Other letters are addressed to Lojie [John Field, a mutual friend]. Le Bras left France in [1939?] and settled in the United States with her husband David Telstoy Nichols. There she had a son Johnny [photograph included]. She died on 4/8/42 of a rare heart infection. At around the same time John L. Field (Lojie) was reported missing, presumed killed. He was on a ship doing convoy duty in the Mediterranean.

A wartime letter, from John Hill to John Field (Loji) can be found in JH/WAR/2. Here he mentions Monique Le Bras and how she and her family may be coping with the war.
