Mogilow, 15/12/1941
Ladies and gentlemen!
I’ve already sent you letters through the postal service but as I assume that they didn’t reach you, I want to take the opportunity that has arisen today to try once again. We’ve been here for about 2 months and we would be happy enough if we could stay here. There are 18 of us living in a relatively small room which, thankfully, can be heated. What’s more, the people we’re staying with are very nice and helpful and that makes it easier to stand this almost unbearable existence. On top of the poor accommodation, food is extremely hard to come by and that’s something that worsens our suffering especially. For this reason I beg you, dear Mr. Kellermann, to get in touch with the Rudich family and ask them on my behalf to send me something with the courier at the earliest opportunity. We urgently need fresh butter, jam, bacon and sausages which we can keep for a while. – I assume that you are in contact with my brother, who will gratefully pay you back your expenses. He already tried it from where he is but his loving gifts don’t reach us. The train you mentioned is the safest. – I’m living in the same house as the Sorda and Hilsenrath families. I would be truly grateful, dear Mr. Kellermann, if you could send us the requested items. Ruthi has grown much taller recently and due to the lack of nutritious food looks in a very bad way. We are all losing
weight but fortunately we are still in good health. I would be really pleased if you could let me know how you are, ladies and gentlemen, and what news you have from Mr. Daiter. Best wishes and all my love. Yours, Anna Rath
