Sargorod 7 /XII 1941
Dearest Lucin!
Received your letter of 19./XI and the 2000 greetings at the moment of greatest need. Continue to send via that route. Gave Liviu in Sidi’s presence 3000 lei on the train. We are owed 6000 lei by Mitzi Jurim. Please request the money back and send it to us in lei. The rubel was at 12, today at under 6 (5,7). How much is it with you. They say the lei is the most stable here. I can only write a few lines, they won’t take bigger letters. Write to Siegfried Schorr Bucharest V Str. Radu Voda No. 9, Apartment 10, that Julius is here with mother and aunts are here and has received 2 times 5000 lei. The rise in prices is enormous and rises by the day. We need as minimal income 70 rubels. He must send more. The police are looking for Sigi Barber’s mother, Hermine Barber for repatriation. But she is not in Sargorod. Write to Siegfried Barber, Buc. V. Str. Cuza Vadu Nr 11 bei Grünberg, how he managed to achieve that. Write the same letter to Bubi Schorr, I am not sure whether Sigi can be found at above address. Dr. Tarter Kalman, Buc. Bulevardul Schitu Maguregna No. 3, write to Dr. Teich of the start of a “Triere” for doctors, skilled workers etc. See to it that we are on the list. What did Eugen reply? Please, write immediately, we are living under unspeakable conditions and you are our only hope. Many kisses to you both [Signature]
