My dears,
I am taking the first opportunity to write a few words to you. We are not well, because we are encountering so many problems with communicating. On the other hand we have been struck with deep unhappiness. Marghit died of stomach poisoning. We had no possibility to buy drugs, there are no drugs here now. You can imagine how desperate and unhappy we are. It is now 5 weeks since Margit passed away. Our tears have not dried up since. I hope you are well and in good health. Is Madam Stefanescu still in Radauti? I have a big favor to ask. If possible please send us some food. It is so difficult for me to bother you, but there is no other way. For bread alone I would thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please forgive us, but you are our only friend in R[adauti] we can ask. If possible please also [send us] a few pieces of soap Pufi is still alive.
Our biggest wish is to keep Coberl in good health, he is our only comfort and our only hope. He is looking terrible, I do not want to speak about us, no one can recognize me anymore. I f possible please send us 2 kg sugar, 1 kg butter, 3 – 4 kg corn flour, a small piece of salami, a small piece of smokes bacon, so that we can eat everything with bread. We very often have to imagine bread, even potatoes are rarely to be had. Please also a few grams of salt and pepper and maybe one or two bottles of vinegar. My husband is working as dentist in the Romanian army at the German headquarters. We are in Moghilau. We kiss you. Your family Henig, Dr. Paul Henig, at the German headquarters, str Adolf Hitler 19, Transnistria. Possibly a German will pick up everything. But I beg you all the same to find a way to send us something.
Stefanescu at Popadiuc
