My loves!
I have already sent you a few letters and I am curious as to whether or not you got them. I now have the opportunity to send you a sign of life. We are in Mogilow. Dear Fritz is working as a track-layer so we got the authorization to stay here. We live opposite the train station in a room with the Meer family, together with Aunty Ernestine and the children.
