My beloved ones עמ"ש!

​

I don’t understand, dear Sarale תחי', why you have not written to me for such a long time. I really beg you, my dear, that you should play my role towards Feigale תחי', as long as she stays with you, and guide her whenever necessary.

​

You, dear Gitale תחי', I thank cordially for your dear addition to the letter. You are very kind in your judgment, but it gives pleasure to hear such a thing. According to what I hear, Mr. Shochet has written to you. It is very embarrassing for me, but I can do nothing about it. Naftali נ"י wrote to us a long time ago that we should write to him. I answered him: I cannot demand it of him. He is a stranger. Because he is so kind and good towards Esterl, should I impose on him even more? Then Naftali נ"י wrote that he had seen a fellow with a letter from Mr. Shochet, where he writes that he will make a request for us. After that we wrote. Now I urge you to answer him and explain to him why you can do nothing for us, because he is a very nice person. He wrote to us particularly that he would answer our letter only after receiving an answer from you. May השי"ת help us.

​

Dear Feigale, thank you for your short message. We have no news since you left. Lisa Pappenheim is already earning 3 pounds per month. I have heard that all adult young women have earning opportunities there. Please, my dear child, get used to this idea, it must unfortunately be so. I hope that people will help you in this issue. Papa שליט"א is not writing because I am writing at the post office. I kiss you as well as Aunt, and also Gusti תח'.

Your Mama

​

To Miss Judith 10,000 kisses.
