My dearest!
We have received your letter from 1/12 the joy it brought us I can not adequately expressed in words. Salo Singer brought the same, I permit him not to fast at Jomkipur.[…] need … don’t be angry if the post does not arrive regularly it took 8 days for Salo to have the opportunity to post the letters. And then again another few days until we get them.—To celebrate we each had an apple after lunch we cook one saucepan[…], we live very modest. The rise in prices is great. A loaf of bread is 20 rubels[…]tz 14 rubels, 1 bottle of milk 6–8 rubels, 1 egg 1 rubel – 20000 L per month is not enough for us as we are 7 people.
You would be surprised what Klara is like now and those who should and have something. You are admired by everyone that you managed to escape those exhaustions. Now dear Heinrich they say of you[…] buy everything our land will provide. I took the drapery shoes with me, I’m lucky about it, because all our slippers stayed there. – If you could make it, send Klara Jung the same ones, it wouldn’t be bad, as well as Klara should have at least one pair of leather shoes from you and 6 fine shirts and 3 pairs of underwear[.]
I took the green suite and the grey coat, to have less things I sold the coat for 300 rubles and the suite for 3000 [.] My heart was bleeding, I also sold things from me, because you need those things to sell and could live out the whole winter if you have enough. We gave away nearly everything in Mogilau. – I beg you please write if the other things could be sended I am very interessted if all of your shoes [are there], the dirty clothes stayed on the floor and in the room a cushon and a sheet seperated from the cat […] in front of the bed […] please write singly what is still there. Temporarily you should not sell anything.
Mother cannot write now otherwise she will miss the opportunity, another time she will write more. I kiss you many times, yours Cilli
Mother missed the opportunity, so she will continue to write to you on her bed,
