Dir. Titus Braha, Radauti
Dear Titus,
I can’t describe our misery to you. The bearer of this letter will tell you more about our suffering; we are doomed to die here. The price inflation is unbelievable (350-400 lei for one loaf of bread)
Dear Titus, I am turning to you as my only sincere friend and beg you to save me and help me, everything will be repaid to you in thanks. Send me a certain sum as I don’t have any money left. Borrow 500 lei each from all our friends on my behalf. I, or if I shouldn’t live, the post, will repay everything in thanks. Ask Patak, Gucu, Chinla [perhaps also Chinila/Chirila - cf. Dosar 1, 20?], Dabucu, [XXX,] Centimovici, Tutzi, Shita, etc... Where is your Totni? If he is in the Ukraine, he could advance
the money on loan.
Please, don’t be angry if I’m troubling you, I don’t have any other way out in this misery –
Kind regards from all of us
Your [signature - probably Boris, see Dosar 1, 78]
Kind regards,
Dr. Hirschhorn
