Bonjour,

Corrections et ajouts en majuscules.
Supprimer ce qui est entre <...>.

"My dear Matti,

I'll <make you bring> HAVE this letter BROUGHT TO YOU later, as soon as the sun <will> riseS. What I have to tell you, I couldn't convey it on the phone, and then I want you TO have the time to reflect. It's a poor story, <doubtless> UNDOUBTEDLY the <more> MOST meaningless ONE that <my trade gave me to understand> I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY TRADE.
I <come> AM back from Milly-la-forêt. I have seen your <boyfriend> FIANCÉ, Manech who is now Jean Desrochelles and this woman who <tell oneself> CLAIMS TO BE his mother. Jean's amnesia is total. He even had to <learn> TO BE TAUGHT to read and write again.<(...TO SPEAK AGAIN ?) The psychiatrists WHO HAVE BEEN treating him since 1917 aren't hopeful but they DO know <well done> there ARE as many amnesias as THERE ARE amnesiac<s> PEOPLE, so who would dare give <one's> THEIR opinionS? He is, as much as <they> can BE saID <him> in <the same> SUCH A case, in good health: <it>HE is a <grown-up man> BIG BOY of 26 years <which> WHOSE grey eyes <have confused> DEEPLY MOVED me just like they <confuse> DEEPLY MOVE all those who meet him; although they <be> ARE beautiful and even gay at times but, DEEP IN THEM, you can see a broken soul which callS for help."

Quelques rappels utiles :
- faire + infinitif à sens passif = to have +V-en
- présent et non pas futur dans une subordonnée de temps introduite par when/as soon as. Futur seulement dans la principale.
- vouloir que + subjonctif = want + proposition infinitive
- attention, tous les adjectifs ne peuvent pas être substantivés (EG amnesiac)
Conclusion : de sérieuses révisions s'imposent.
