My dears,
Despite having written before, I must make use of the goodwill of Mr. D[…], son in law of Prof. Alevos, to let you know that we are in a desperate situation here. Please let me know whether you have received the presents that I have from Emil at Dori and Selly. It must be 5. I f not then you should know that [they are] in the village with my neighbor, who I lived with for 10 years and was very attentive to when the tragedy happened. Your daughter should go to Bucuresti. Will you asking after her at Dr. Bernhard Tauber? 43 Lei, if I. Händel has not come to Cernauti. I – the factory, 2. floor […]. Please send my neighbor money, at least a few thousand Lei.
And a loaf of bread costs 3-500 Lei, but at the market there is nothing. If you could send a blanket, sole leather for 2 pairs of boots, a pair of wool gloves for Iancu we would be most grateful. I need tea, sugar, candles, soap, sugar for tea, a three liter saucepan and three enameled bowl, so I have something for the food for the children. We do not have a single glass and sleep a the floor. I f we do not receive money soon we will starve to death. We have put our names down with the group of people from Dorohoi, they hope to go home soon. And so I ask you to intervene so that we too can leave. Life is unbearable here.
Address: Israeli community Mocgilov for Frühling. Please write immediately, not as you did in Cernauti. We did not receive a single p[ost] – c[ard] from you.
