Dear Aunty! [XXX] I finally sent a message through Dr. Teitelbaum. The money was distributed to everyone apart from the 5,000 lei for Fil[iz?] Katz, who went to Balti. This money is available. We received 30,000 lei from [???]. Yesterday [???] was here who is in complete despair and asked me to lend him a hand financially. If the Sowalens are actually still here, I’d be grateful if you could give them a small kettle for [???]. We can’t get our hands on any food here now, not even milk any more. The ruble is set to be replaced. You can get all sorts of things by way of exchange. Whoever [XXX] Chernivtsi
[XXX] courage the soldiers see all sorts of food . We are badly in need of sugar because our supply is running out. Helmuth, warmest regards on your birthday from [???] and myself. A hug to you, dearest [???]. Yours, [signature]
Kind regards to everyone
