11/12/2021 11:53 PM My loved good children. I received the airmail letter from your loved parents in which you wanted me to come and at the time and at the time I was undecided and did not think about emigrating that far away from my best ones. And still cannot decide it. After all it is a three weeks voyage And the also is the question where you can accommodate me as a third person? All that goes through by head and I do not want to be a burden for anyone.
Now I think that your dear parents already are that far to emigrate and have sold the furniture.
Then I wrote you a letter and seriously asked that you for yourself as for dear Martin take the things and also a demanding letter because I cannot send it by post. I cannot make such a parcel. I am not able to fil in the questions by myself and have no one because everyone is busy with his own affairs. So Ii want to ask you cordially to write to your loved parents about all so that I know whether you want to take us with you otherwise I have to sell, how much sorry about the costumes of the loved father. I have put them away because loved Martin wrote me that he does need them , also Kurt could have taken them at the time but he did not do it either, but he did not do it and so it remains like it was. When I cannot send it on such occasion so I have to sell which would hurt my heart. Please be so good and write to your loved parents because I do not receive an answer. After all they are your children, just like mine and why wouldn’t you do me that favor. You also do not have to be angry on me but I cannot help myself the other way. Please, care for me, I am alone with the dear aunt and who will help me? It is not that light for me. At the moment I am in good health, thanks God an am able to work. I still can relax at the moment after all the sorrow but it always comes back Many sorrows, will I remain here alone? Perhaps the aunt Anna can come as lady-companion or as a travel-companion
