My dears! I gave the doctor 6,800 lei in cash to give to you. It doesn’t belong to me. Please change it in the Administratia or Nationalbank and send the exchanged money back to me next time you write. What’s the powder in the wafers? Please send 2 torches, several batteries, bulbs for the torches, baking soda, kilograms of potash, 20 little bottles of Intern paraffin oil, toothpaste, camomile, linden tea, some fire stones, leather shoelaces (they can also be round ones), as much codeine as possible – basically anything you can get your hands on and could send.
My dears, I haven’t paid Albert any commission. Please get it there with the 6,800 and tell me how much it costs as I have to deduct it here. I got the powder and wafers together with the bone char but I don’t know what it actually is because there’s no name on it. If you could, please send us a little suitcase separately next time so you don’t have to send several smaller packages.
Kisses, Berku.
Dr. Paul Gutmann
