My Dear Ones,
I’ve received five thousand leu, though don’t know what to do with it. There is starvation. Now it’s 500 leu for one bread for a day and you don’t get even that. We cannot survive this if you don’t hurry.
Mother-in-law is with Uncle Rine, but it’s hard to get into the district here. Mother is half dead. Hurry yourself! We send our regards and kisses,
Cordially, Smerl
