Thinking, what they used to be and what they are now, and I and Sonia are in charge of the correspondence. Sonia bought a cartful of wood for which she paid 500 Rubels so that we are not suffering from the cold now. At the moment it has not got so cold yet, well it is cold enough, but I imagine it will get colder still. I can tell yu one thing, your letter was a recipe for our nerves and it will be my birthday present. I will end here and will be waiting for a letter impatiently. I kiss you a thousand times, your daughter Klara.
Try to get in touch with Mr. Margules immediately, he always sends greetings and try to send more kisses, you never know what tomorrow will bring. I kiss you once more. Klara
