Dear Bronchik! If it is true that you are starting to get better, then I am very happy and suggest that you continue on this path. Merochka this morning went for a trip, don't worry she is with her class and teacher, she'll be home at 2.30.
Merka wrote the letter to you completely by herself, I didn't help her, not even with one word. I let her develop her thoughts on her own. When she comes back from the trip, I think she'll write to you again.Now at 10:00 I sent you a parcel and picked up your letter. With the next bus, I'll send one more book and also an umbrella. Our communication now is on track and comfortable. I thought to talk to you on the phone, but your letter calmed me down. Regards from mom, dad and all ours (family). Merochka, before she left, asked to send you regards and kisses. Be well and wise
Kisses shalom
P.S. I am sending a book, an umbrella and 2 pounds in a letter. Confirm delivery.
Abram
