Dear Sir,
I saw Mr. Blin, who paid the 3000Fs representing the selling price of the hay he took from Mrs. Hausermann.
About the lots of the vines, I got a 3 year lease, starting next Christmas, for 2750 francs, subject to apples and hedgewood, for your benefit.
Since the capacity of these vines is 2 hectares 64 acres, we obtain, with the above reservation, more than 1000 francs per hectare, and I consider this price very serious.
Nevertheless, before I deal with it permanently, I would like you to give me your permission.
With my best memory, please accept, dear Sir, the assurance of my best and very devoted feelings
C. Apple
Jean Cordelle to Master Charles Pommier, notary in Trévières, Paris on 8 April 1941
Dear Sir
I receive your letter of April 5, 1941, and thank you for having settled the question of the sale price of hay to Mr. Blin
As far as the vines are concerned, we agree to accept the 3 year lease of next Christmas for 2750 francs per year, subject to apples and hedgewood for our benefit. We assume that Mr Blin has given up the apples he had in the previous lease for the 3 small vines. Please also tell us what the regime of the great vine between St Jean and Christmas will be, because Pohier leaves it from St Jean.
Mrs. Chedal, who left in Vierville last Saturday, took her marriage contract and mine; she will hand it over to you.....
Me Pommier to Jean Cordelle
Trevières (Calvados) on 19 April 1941
....We agree with the Blin lease that I have agreed to.
As for the rental of the large vineyard, for the last six months of 1941, I forgot to tell you that I set the figure for this rental at 500 F. For this I will not make a lease; but a simple commitment by Blin to pay this sum at Christmas 1941.
For the drafting of leases...
Mr. Pommier to Mrs. Chedal-Anglay Vierville castle s/mer
Dear lady,
I'm sending you through my clerk, the 3000 Fs I cashed from Mr. Blin for the purchase price of the hay he disposed of this winter on instructions from Mrs. Hausermann....I'm giving you this discount on request from Mr. Cordelle who wrote me these last days....
Jean Cordelle to Master Charles Pommier, Paris, June 30, 1941
....I hope you could go to Vierville to see with my wife the conditions of engagement of the household intended to replace the current guards of the house....
Mr. Apple Cordelle, castle of Vierville, Trevières, July 16, 1941
Dear lady
I would like to thank you in particular for your letter of the current 13th. With great gratitude I would accept that Mr Cordelleveuille would see in Paris what is happening from the request that I made in Bayeux on 7th June – if anything is possible, of course – I know that it is difficult to get something, and that Mr Cordelle will do everything he can. I will quietly wait for the result of the process. (This is a free zone travel permit)
I'd like to see you today, but we're waiting for troops.(German of course, Pommier was mayor of Trevières) in the afternoon, and I wish to be present upon their arrival...
....I made inserts for the household.
I will sell next Sunday afternoon, in Formigny, a three-year-old mare, which might suit you, if you want to buy a horse.
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVIon 22 July 1941
.....I sold the horse I had kept you from, 31100F, to a horse dealer last Sunday. I take note that you are interested in buying a horse, and certainly when you are decided, it will be easy to give you satisfaction.
Thank you again for my request of June 7. I know that this is difficult, that it is not at all certain that you are getting a result.
Originally I had invoked the reason for a visit to a 100 ha property that I usually ran before the war, as evidenced by a certificate from the Mayor of Crozant attached to my request. The intermediary who handled this matter in Bayeux, considered when filing my application, that it was preferable to indicate that I needed to go to Creuse for business concerning my profession. So it was this second reason that had to be maintained last.
...I'm still looking for guards, but I haven't found what I want to give you yet.
....As agreed, I will go to Mr. Chedal Anglay next week to present the declaration of succession...
PS I received the housing allowance for Vierville, returning to you as having accommodated the officer and his men.
Mr. Apple Mr CordelleChâteau de Vierville s/mer August 21, 1941
I think you came to Vierville. If you were able to come to me in the morning, I would talk to you about my research in relation to a household that I saw yesterday and that seems very good.
This housekeeper is supposed to see you next Sunday at about 3:00.
If you come tomorrow morning, either you or one of your sons, or one of your nephews, I can give you a little package that I've got for you....

Dear Master
In the spring, it seems to me that the time has come to implement the project we have to install a first floor for the Vierville guard.
So I write to Mr Hervé the attached letter, asking you if it would be too much trouble, to hand it over to Mr Hervé and insist that he will take care of it as soon as possible. I am sure that thanks to your intervention we will be able to carry out this little work without too much delay, and on conditions not too expensive.
If Mr. Hervé can see what's to be done by the end of this month, I'll be able to meet him in Bayeux.
PARIS, 13 March 1942
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Hervé
Entrepreneur in Bayeux (Calvados)
Sir
I came to you last fall to ask you to do a little work in the guard house of the castle of Vierville on Sea. You said at this point that you could probably take care of this at the beginning of this year. I see here a sketch of the existing situation, and what we want to achieve indicated in red.
Currently the accommodation includes only 2 rooms on the ground floor. Next to it there is a garage, and above there is a wooden parquet on both rooms and on the garage.
Two rooms above the two of the ground floor probably of uneven size, one illuminated by a window located in the centre of the gable by widening an existing opening; the other illuminated by a skylight in the roof.
To access these two rooms, a staircase would be installed as well indicating the plan, passing through the garage but in order to accommodate as little as possible.
The dimensions shown on the plan are only indicative, and the final provisions can be adopted on the spot.
I will pass to Bayeux on Friday 27 March, arriving from Paris by the noon train. If you could find out what work you need to do, I will be able to meet you that day.
By thanking you, please accept my distinguished greetings.
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI

I was waiting for Mr Hervé to answer you. I am not yet in possession of this answer. We will see to the point of finalizing the question during your stay here.

Dear Sir
I received your letter this morning from the current, and I received the 2 attached transport permits that I had already asked for.
It was impossible to increase the quantity, each person having to receive only 7 tons at the most, but the same operation can be renewed in 6 weeks and you will thus get about 11 tons for each of you after taking the Seine quota.
There is still nothing to do with the cars, which is very regrettable because we could have loaded more by iron.
You could call my son, Maurice (temporarily Sufresne 32-55), asking him to do whatever is necessary at the Prefecture of the Seine where he knows someone. The interested office is located 32 quai Henri IV, it's Mr Gerbaud, but he's a head of the office who has always got what we wanted......
Paris on 27 May 1942
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
Dear Master
We have received the 2 permits for wood transport and we thank you very much. We will do everything we can to get the permit to enter, and we will try to find a carrier, which is not easy. If by chance it becomes possible to have a car again, please inform us.
I am sending you a cheque for 1000F on behalf of Mrs. Veuve Hausermann, which was issued to us by the Cie d'Ass Gles for compensation for damage caused by a fire. I will be grateful if you will do what is necessary to cash in...(I remember a fire at the guards' fireplace - I was there, it might have been at Christmas 41 - The local firefighters were quite ineffective, and he was a German soldier who rode on the ridge, and poured out the buckets of water that he was being put through?

Jean Cordelle à Me Pommiernotaire à Trévières
Dear Master
.......In terms of wood, the cars we have requested are likely to arrive at Molay any day. We would therefore have to have instructions to the Molay station, which we have renewed with these 2 cars, to warn you directly of their arrival, so that you can bring the wood immediately, otherwise we may see the cars escape....
Paris on 12 July 1942
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
...We learned from SNCF that our wood was being loaded yesterday at Molay Littry.
I am sending you the transport authorization for the last 7 tons that you must have missed.
If you haven't sent the receipts to the sender yet, please send them immediately to Mr. Bordy 11 av Mozart, who will take care of the reception of the wood if it arrives after my departure from Paris....
Paris on 22 December 1942
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
Dear Master
We're here at the end of the year, and we're going to have to fix Mr. Leterrier's rent for 1943.
This summer, you said that you suggested to Mr. Leterrier a rent in kind based on the price of butter, only way to make a lease at the present time. Otherwise, you can only set a rent for 1 year.
Please tell me if you have spoken to Mr. Leterrier again, because it is in the interest of this matter to be resolved without too much delay.
....PS Our potatoes have just arrived as well as those of the Chedals, and we thank you very much. We send you back the bags in a row. Please tell us how much we owe you....
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviers 13 January 1943
….
PS As you will know by Mrs. Chedal; Mr. Jean (Papa's farmer in Longueville, who often supplied us with butter in incredible quantities for the time, and at the normal price of tax!) I'll give me Friday the agreed package that I'll drop off at Bayeux like last time, and you can have it taken from Saturday night....
Paris on 30 January 1943
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
....PSWhen our guards leave on February 15, we will have to pay them the salary corresponding to the days they did not take, plus a food allowance corresponding to those same days. Can you tell me what the amount of this daily allowance is?...
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviers 2 February 1943
...As for your guards, they are entitled to a compensatory allowance representing paid leave. You only owe them 12 days of wages and housing allowance. You must not talk about food, then that they were feeding themselves. The question is governed by a new law of July 31, 1942. If Mrs Cordelle is bored, I will be at her disposal to finalize everything on February 15.
In the countryside, leave is for 12 days a year, provided that there is a minimum of 4 months of work; and in the cities it is 15 days off...
PS attached. Registrations were taken from Mr. Charlot. (I think it was Trevières' grocer);
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviers 12 March 1943
...I address you here-incl. the lease consents to Mr. Leterrier for the 2 herbage in Vierville. If this lease has your approval, I will sign it as soon as you have returned.
I took the average price of butter in 1942 to make the assessment for collecting the registration fee, but we can consider as certain that 182 kgs of butter will give us in 1943, at least 8500F.
…..
I would like to ask Mrs Chedal and Mrs Cordelle, 200 to 300 kg of potatoes for Vierville. It may be good to keep these potatoes for the seed, in part, because I heard from the wholesaler who is responsible for providing us with the potato plant, that it is likely that the campaigns will not have any, despite the regular inscriptions that have been made – the information will be clarified and I hope that we will be fixed definitively at a short time...
Paris, 18 March 1943
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
We have received your letter of current with the lease for Mr.Leterrier. We have noted that the rent would be 182 kg of butter per year, or 40 kg per hectare. It is less than the amount usually allowed for land of as good quality as the one we are dealing with, but we do think you have taken into account our excellent relations with Mr.Leterrier, and we fully approve what you have agreed with him.
Please tell us what the current butter tax is.
We thank you very much for the 300kg of potatoes that you have reserved for us, and that you would do us a great service by sending them to Vierville if possible.
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviers 24 March 1943
....I signed the lease to Mr. Leterrier, on your behalf as you authorized it. As you rightly say I have taken into account your excellent relations.
The price of farm butter is 47.70F per kilog. This price is to be increased to 50F
All right, potatoes, some of which have already arrived in Vierville...
Paris on 14 January 1944
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
Dear Master
I'm turning back the power you gave my wife.
She saw Mr. Dubois paying for his rent. As she agreed, she told him to go to you. I would point out that the rent of Dubois in 1939 was 5000F: 4000 after the lease, plus 1000F paid in addition to a common agreement with Mrs. Hausermann. Elsewhere during the conversation, my wife asked "What was your rent in 1939?"
As for the principle of revising the lease, without my wife having entered into a discussion with him, it appears that Mr Dubois does not put much goodwill in it. He may not be very eager to go to you; we would nevertheless be very happy if you met him as soon as possible. We reminded him that the property remaining undivided, your intervention is indispensable for the protection of Mr. Jean Hausermann's interests. This is the position we have always adopted.
As far as the other leases are concerned, I think there will be no difficulties and you can easily settle the issue as soon as the regulations you announce are published. We would be happy if these rent issues were resolved within a short time...
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviersle 14 January 1944
...I apologize to Mrs Cordelle, to whom I would have liked to make a little visit at the beginning of this week during her stay in Vierville, but on that day I was very taken for unfriendly things which my office as mayor imposes without any pleasure. I had nothing to give to Madame Cordelle; the winter season completely raspens this product and I think it is necessary to wait the fine days so that we can find some more.
I saw Edmond Jean. I made the readjustment of his lease on the rate of 45kgs per hectare.(land of the marsh)
I also saw Blin, who I asked for 25kg per hectare. (These are the vines) It is still to be seen that Mr Leterrier is hoping to meet shortly, and the same goes for Dubois, who certainly sees nothing in a hurry to resolve this issue.
It is true that a new law is being announced to change the one we are beginning to familiarise ourselves with, which is not a little work....
Paris on 18 January 1944
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
....I received your letter of 14th. As far as the Longueville rent is concerned, I understand that there is nothing changed since the lease was already 45kgs per hectare, which was also good. For Blin the base of 25kgs per hectare gives a little more than the current rent.
Are these agreements between the parties, or is this the result of legal adjustment? What are the bases for comparison with which the readjustments provided for by the law must be made: price of butter in 1939 and 1943? Is there some discretion left to the parties?
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviers3 February 1944
...I received your letters of 14 and 18 January. I have not yet seen Mr Dubois, but he promised to come to me very soon. J. estimated the rental value of his herbage was 1000F l í hectares in 1939.
As regards Longueville, the price of the current lease is not to be changed since it was already a quantity of butter per hectare,
In respect of the vines (rent Blin) I obtained 25 kg of butter per hectare, i.e. for the whole 2ha 60 x 25 = 65 kg.
In view of the holding of apples, these land had a real rental value ofir September 1939, from 1300F(100f the verge) which gives in butter to 21.50: 60Kg and we have 65kg.
I know that the price of the current lease, 2750F, concluded in seven 41, was high and the readjustment can only be as required by law, on the actual rental value of the property.ir seven 1939, all subsequently concluded leases being subject to revision more or less. We almost always find increases, but sometimes impose decreases. The parties have all the latitudes to assess and agree on adjustments to be made, but the legal basis is as I have taken above, the real value at 1ir seven 1939, representing at that time half of the butter at 21.50 F and the other half of the meat at 6 F, net weight, when it comes to weeding. For ploughing, the same assessment is made in wheat quintals on the basis of 191.50.
For your farmer Blin, it would have been necessary to regularly take half butter and half meat, but it is more advantageous for you to take all butter, because the meat has a little more than doubled, while the butter has increased once 1⁄2.
There is still Mr Leterrier for whom the recent lease, concluded a year ago, specifies 182 kgs or 40 kg of butter per hectare.
I think it's your intention not to change this lease. Mr. Leterrier is waiting for your answer to pay the Christmas term. ...
Paris on 28 February 1944
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers (attached a note on the calculation of rents)
...In this regard, I found that the rent in Longueville was higher than that of their What is the current rate of the butter tax?
On the subject of the Vierville grasslands, we need your opinion on the following question: the herbage located on the other side of the road and which is rented to Mr Dubois has been closed almost entirely by the occupying authorities with the intention of circulating it (in fact, it was mostly about miner)Of a total area of about 7ha 65a, we have no more enjoyment than 90 ares. 2 questions arise:
1irAllowance to be claimedMr Chedal-Anglay has spoken to Mr Leterrier, and we think we are writing to the Prefect through the Mayor of Vierville, asking for compensation for the damage. We must assess the damage. I think that yes and in this case how should we do it? Should we calculate after the rent actually paid in proportion to the area we no longer have, or is there an official scale? So we need to know the conditions of rental finally made to Mr Dubois and accepted by him; You probably saw it and it has to be settled now.
These issues of herbage occupation have already been brought forward and we thank you for the information you can provide us with.
2° What happens to the rental of Mr Dubois? Does he continue to rent what remains and on what conditions?...
Paris, 13 March 1944
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
...I apologize for still bothering you with the 1943 rents settlement, but because of the evacuation of our property from Vierville sur Mer and the transport to Paris of some of the furniture, we had to face, Mr Chedal and I, has very big costs, and we would be happy to receive the rents record of the end of the year, as well as the various expenses that you had in 1943. The balance could thus be sent to us....
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviers 13 March 1944
...I will write to you shortly for Dubois who refuses to meet me until this day...
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviers 25 March 1944
....the difficulties are constantly increasing and we must face them to the fullest extent of our means, which is not always easy.
You will notice that Dubois paid only one deposit, or at least I accepted its payment in this form. I continue my discussions with him by following the instructions you gave, which correspond in any way to my view.
For the rent-off allowances, farmers will do their job, i.e. they will have to continue paying their rents under their leases, in order to make their profit from the compensation they will receive.
I'll write you a little longer when the case is finalized with Dubois...
Paris, 29 March 1944
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
....I hope you will finally get along with Mr Dubois; if you had a different opinion on this issue, don't hesitate to tell us.
About the constitution of our requisition file for the castle of Vierville, the Controller of the Registration of Bayeux wrote to ask what our title was....
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviersle 30 March 1944
....I saw Mr Dubois very seriously before yesterday Tuesday. I think I managed to make him understand that he was wrong to persevere in his hostile and even rude attitude. He promised me to reflect and come to study.
I'll keep you informed.
At the same time, I will see to safeguard all your rights in the future by making the necessary modification to the two Dubois and Blin leases whose rent was denominated in money.
For Mr Leterrier, the question arises differently, but I will also do what is necessary as soon as the occasion arises.
On Tuesday, when I went to Vierville for the Houyvet sale, I saw that there was a lot of land in your property and I felt sorry for it. If all this could stop at the point where we are.
I will give him all the information he wishes to make your file. The act of notoriety that I have drawn up after Mrs Hausermann's death is the legal document that establishes your rights.
....PS The price of Christmas rents was calculated at a rate of 51.25 kilos of butter, the average price of the semester. The law provides for the course of the day of expiry is 56F, but the comments of the law suggest that this is the average price to be taken as the basis, and that an addendum to the law will decide this in the near future. To avoid having any restitution to make in the next term (24 June 1944) I thought it would be well done by taking the average price.
Paris, 19 April 1944
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
.....About the requisition of our property in Vierville, we have to send to the Prefecture's services in Caen, a print where we have to answer many questions and indicate the compensation we demand.
My brother-in-law has given him the information you gave about this, but there are still many obscure points, and in particular we are quite undecided about the amount that can reasonably be claimed. The figure you have indicated for a nearby property is very interesting but, but seems very high, has there not been a particular circumstance that allowed to justify it? The information we have had, from other departments it is true, is less encouraging.
I think it's necessary for me to see you in order to figure this out, and I was about to go to Trevières and come back on the same day, probably a Sunday. But I learned that you were going to Paris next week.
Mr. Apple Mr Cordelle27 av de LamballeParis XVI
Treviers29 April 1944
I received your letter from the current, and since that day it was still a question of me going to Paris, but several circumstances make my journey delayed, and I will not be able to set you up next in Paris as I would have wished.
Since you wrote, trains have been removed, and at present there is only one train coming from Paris, the one in the morning, which must arrive at Bayeux at about 1 hour, and only one to leave at 3:30 pm, leaving Bayeux.
I will be very happy to go to Bayeux station on the day of your arrival, but the considerable delay that exists daily will prevent your projects from being carried out, i.e. going back and forth in the same day.
The uncertainty of travel, and the uncertainties of train schedules, may make you decide to change your plans, if especially the question can be solved by letter.
Of course I'm at your disposal.
We could try to agree on the questionnaire to be completed and for that, ask me all the questions you need in this area. J-I will answer them and it seems to me that if there is absolute necessity, a subsequent displacement would be necessary.
Similarly, there is no strict deadline for your application; the only interest lies in the payment of your monthly allowances as soon as possible....

...Thank you for sending the 6 volt battery as Maurice (Mother's son) I'm carrying to your private account the sum of 450F to pay the amount.
As for Mr. Desjardins's, I will give him the opportunity to go to Bayeux. I have already come to his house twice to ask him about the work he has to do at Vierville Castle, but I haven't met him.
I went to Vierville last Thursday. The beach and the country are very deserted (the last Americans left since mid-December). Everything that has been done has, of course, remained, and is now in the greatest deprivation.
The laws ordering decrees of all kinds start to come out, and the question of damages and requisitions is clear. I know that Mr Leterrier has obtained from Mr Bouland, expert in Isigny, that he visits the whole town of Vierville to put everything to work. – so be without worry, everything that interests you will be done.
I haven't seen anyone yet for the Christmas term, and moreover, Dubois has always stayed at the same point. Should we call him to court to finish it?
For Mr. Leterrier and Mr. Blin, there will be no difficulty.
It is currently under consideration, the composition of a communal commission which will consist of 4 members under the President, to fix in rent of leased property, the share of the farmer, which will have to be paid immediately, and the supplement to the State's charge, which will have to be paid to the owner by the farmer when he receives it – this share must include for the farmer a personal allowance for his operation.
The principle remains that the farmer will have to pay all his rent sooner or later, but of course this is a job that will not be done tomorrow morning.
Handwritten note by Jean Cordelle: Should the German occupation allowance be renewed for Vierville?
Paris, 12 April 1945
Jean Cordelle to Mr. Pommiernotaire in Treviers
....I wanted to tell you that having seen Mr Dubois afterwards, he expressed the desire to keep the (very weak) still usable part of herbage that is the subject of his lease.
We don't see any inconvenience. Therefore the lease for the whole finished last Christmas is not renewed for the moment. But Mr Dubois keeps the small part usable. Is it necessary to make a lease for this?.
