Sosnowiec
Geppersdorf
German
letter
In this long letter, Raizel mentions that their mother has finally recovered from her sickness, but that they were all depressed to hear that Sala will not be able to return home for a vacation. She writes at length that Sala should be grateful for her relationship with Ala, and that she should accommodate her in every way. Raizel also mentions that a P. Bialsgorska visited and apparently "carries a lot of animosity toward [Sala] and Ala," and that "she's waiting for the moment to take her revenge..." She does not describe the nature of the matter, however. MIGHT belong with 418.
