As of today I received one letter, one note and two postcards. Risa in one letter you write that you will send me covers. I did not receive them. I wrote to the children but no reply today. Sorry about Frank. Were you [?] Mrs. Mayer? Tomorrow I will send the laundry. With love and longing. I miss you. Your Oskar." "Hope you are well. I am pretty well except for the wound.
