Roza sends regards from people visiting on vacation, and notes that Sala must be looking forward to her own vacation. She also attempts to comfort Sala who no longer speaks with H.K. and only with L. Roza springs between expressing depression and optimism with her situation. For example, she writes, "I'm so worried, but what can I do, everything is lost" followed in the next line with "Everything will be well," and "God recompenses good deeds ... just be patient. Bad things don't last forever. Things will be fine."
