This is one of five pages that I am posting, taken from various letters written by the relative of a cousin.

I would greatly appreciate a translation of whatever can be read.

I apologize for the poor quality of the scans, and for the condition of some of the pages, including those that have pieces missing and have tears across the middle. Whatever you can make out will be very helpful.

There may be some sprinklings of Hebrew. Please just ignore those.

Thank you in advance.

I think everything is packed, (except) for your dark blue trousers (palletot), as they didn't fit in the suitcase; I'll send them with the coat. Then … Since even the colleague's folder (?) … I had to nail the crate shut so tightly because I was afraid it would otherwise fall apart. I couldn't get a box because I was packing on Sunday, so I had to pack the books in the crate. I'll send you the pictures … and Therefore, I believe I haven't forgotten anything. If so, write to me... and as you know, I will gladly do everything for you. Now, before I forget, please send me my …
