LETTERS

                                                            Vienna 20 July 1939 ב"ה

Dear precious children עמ"ש!

Many thanks for your dear letter. Following the telegram from Uncle Piniu נ"י that the certificate had been arranged, we received a detailed card yesterday from Aunt Gusti ת' that on Sunday the 9th of this month our certificate, entitled a rabbinic certificate, had been granted. We expect it בעה"ש to arrive here soon. It therefore makes no sense to send you the medical certificates. We would have to pay 6 Reichsmarks for them, which for us is now a fortune. Should there be any doubt within the circle of our relatives in London concerning the certificate, please write to me and I will indeed send the necessary things.  Can we not in the meantime make an application without this?

I am writing only to you because I am already so very much expecting the certificate and will only then write to everyone. Why do you write nothing about yourself?  Zwi נ"י has gone with the local Agudah to a holiday camp.

I will apply tomorrow for an extension and will include the telegram from Tel Aviv.

I have sold the bedroom for 60 Reichsmarks.  For now, I have taken a down-payment.

Inform the dear children about this postcard.

I kiss you all. Warm regards to the dear relatives. Regards from dear Papa. I am at the main post office.      

Mama.
