Roza apologizes for failing to write to Sala often. She writes that because most of her thoughts involve her difficult situation that any writing would undoubtedly be a litany of compalints. Roza continues with a request for Sala to send her pictures of Sala and Abram.

The pages appear to be the continuation of other pages. Like many of the letters from 1940, this last letters covers general matters such as packages to Sala.

In this note, Sala's friends echo the letters of other people who ask Sala to write back about her everyday life in the camp. They discuss Sala's request for them to send her a specific picture, and recent portraits that they each had taken. They mention that they wonder what Sala looks like now, and suggest that they look different from when Sala left for the camp.

This letter is Harry's response to Sala's call for him to leave her alone. He explains that the surrounding conditions affected his behavior, and that he subsequently wants to ask supervisor to replace him as crew leader.
