2/12/1941 Dear Mr. Gerschon! We are suffering tremendously and it’s so cold; I’ve already written in more detail to Judge Lucani's wife. A good man helped me with the money. Therefore I beg you to refund him the 9,000 lei by postal order, namely to Cluj Iwan Pajveanu notar public Atachi |:Judal Soricea:|. As you are not allowed to write on postal orders, send a postcard with the following message to the same address: „We paid 9,000 lei for the purchase of the loan granted to Dr. Hilsenrads by Mohilew..“ How is your dear wife? I hope she too is well. If you and your dear wife have to leave Radauti, please bring all the things and assets forwarded to you to the brewery and it’ll be on me. You have no idea how easy you have it in terms of money.
Here, a loaf of bread costs up to 40 rubles, iL. [XXX] up to 25 rubles, etc. My kindest regards to your wife and to the Grecul family. Kind regards from my wife and myself, Dr. Hilsenrad
