Dear Mr. Neubauer!
I do hope that you and your family are in good health. I would be very grateful if you could send me a few lines to the address: Hermann Edelstein Mogilow Transnistria Postrestand. As for things here, we are not at all well, because even if you have the large sum of money needed to buy food, there’s no food available. At most you might be able to exchange something. As a result, I’m turning to you now in the greatest urgency to ask you to hand over to the messenger 15 kg of Chromcholin, so that I might have the means to survive. It was in the last box of your daughter’s together with the extract and in packets of 15 kg, or from the shop.

Mr. Neubauer, I am writing to ask again to you send me 15 kg of Chromcholin through the messenger because our lives are dependent on it. We can exchange the furs, if we don’t we’ll die of hunger, as you can’t get anything at all with money here. Mr. Neubauer, as soon as you receive this note, you are to hand it over to the messenger at once and he will pass it on to me. Please also send 1 kg of chrome leather or nigrosine along with it, it’s really important for me to have some. Has Mrs. Gesela taken the furniture? I was wondering. We weren’t asked anything when we left. How are you all? What are you doing in terms of work? Have you sold the horses and Bz ? Do you get enough for your furs from the office? Here, a large fur costs 500 lei, and they’re furs without numbers, you can’t do anything with them.
We’re here together with the whole Postilner family, and he, like myself, is just in the process of writing to you and sends you his greetings. [...]. Mr. Brobau makes it[..]. I hope [XXX] I can still make it up to you. What is Mrs. Neubauer up to? […] want to come [… ] close to Chernivtsi […] on our expenses.
Lots of Romanians are setting up businesses here and are getting authorization. So, to repeat my plea, please also send me 5-10 kg of Chromcholin without delay. It’s very important. Best wishes to everyone.
