Dear Stefkie. I got your letter yesterday, giving me a lot of pleasure. In that I now know how our family is faring. But I don’t understand why Jenka is not at home only at Oleska because I think it would be better for her to be under the protection of mother. Would like to know whether Jadzik is still in the old place. Please look after him as he is too young for anything to happen to him. As things are with you till today, I can see that everything is in good order. I am surprised that little Mareczka is only 4 years old and is so already so keen and learning. I would love to have more letters. Am asking you that in the next letter that all of you in the family will sign.
Regards
Cesick
