“I might spend all night writing to you… I am your ever faithful wife. Good night my dear friend, it is midnight. I think it is time for me to go to bed.” Marie Dubosc wrote these lines in 1758. They were addressed to her husband, Louis Chambrelan, a lieutenant on the Galatée, a French warship. But the letter never reached its destination, the husband’s ship had been captured by the British, and Marie was never to see him once more. She died in Le Havre the following year before Louis Chambrelan was released from captivity.
