Dearest Sarenka, All on the sudden I’m here at the post office. The mail is going out today and how could I not write Sarenka? Just now, my husband, little Bernhard was here. He looks good alright and feels well. I’m curious about how you are, how your health is. We are well and plan to go to the camp. Today is a gorgeous day, we are in the best of spirits and have great hopes for the future. How is Branka? Is she well? What’s doing with Harry? Where is he? Why is he silent? The woman from Seldyn told me everything. We had very little time then - somebody in the central administration must have pulled strings. Maybe I’ll have another chance to talk with her. Don’t worry, girl, it’ll be fine. Be brave, stay well. Kisses, your little Ala Warm regards from my entire family and our Bernhard
