Dr. Max Schwitzer
My loves!
We received your 10 greetings and are really thankful for them. I just wondered why we didn’t get any lines from you. You can’t imagine how happy we are to receive something. We haven’t seen any signs of life from Muca either. What is going on there? An officer gave us a package from Isin and he sent another through someone else but it was taken away from us and also a bag of bedding was sent through the same person and half of it was taken away from us as well. Please forward this note to Isin so he knows not to send anything more to us through that person. Only through military people. This guy here is a postman so we can’t write anything about that to Isin, so please do it from there. How are you doing there? We’re doing very badly and we’re really starving. Even if you have a lot of money, you still get nothing. That means that a package, if you receive one, is unaffordable. Can’t Mina
or Peter come here? Our daily bread costs 500 lei and is hardly edible, chicken wouldn’t have eaten it at home. Little Michel already has an appetite, but very little. Maybe someone could get us out of here? We’re desperate for something sweet but were so stupid and didn’t bring anything with us. We don’t get any cooking fat either. It costs 30 rubles for 10 potatoes, it’s so terrible. Paul Henig is very angry that you haven’t sent him anything but he has been very lucky and earns a lot. We haven’t earned a penny yet and we have already run out of money. We’ve already spent 90,000 lei since we’ve been here and you’re aware of our money situation. People are saying that we will be forced on to the next place. May God protect us from that. Aunty Weidman is sick, she asks you to send a telegraph to Rotti to tell her that they are here. Are you living in your house? Does Max have anything to do? May God help us to see each other again, we are desperate. Kisses
Yours Michel
