Dear Erich.

This is just a few lines to let you know Margrit and I are keeping

But It does not seem as if you worry if we are in good health or not.

I can say Erich 'it is egal for me but dont you think Margrit belongs

to your family

She has had know letters now for five weaks I know that Margrit has

wrote her mother but she

gets know amswer

Believe Me Erich we are not poor any more I have 450 In in the month

Margrit has 220 Im in the month

We wrote and ask your mum 1f

she could send us some stuff for Xmas but she wrote back and said to

•send a parcel from west to

east was hard yet Erich she can send one

to the Murphys as I have

said Erich for me it is egal but think what

margrit feels

Erisch while I am hear I am looking after Margrit she loves me and I

her and I just will not see her treated this way

Erich I must sit

see Margrit cry and think what she has

don to deserve

this and I just wont have any more of it

I am sorry I am writing like this Erisch I know you are not at fault

and dont know what is happening

But I hope you can understand I will ask you Erisch

and sigs for Xmas I can assure you that I will pay for

Well Erisch I must close now hope this letter finds you in the best of

your friend always

Lieber Bruderherz !

Da Ihr nichts von Euch hören lässt versuchen wir es nochmal.

Kommt dieses mal keine Antwort soll ich Euch in Ruhe lassen.

Jimnie sagt wir leben unser Leben hier und Moma soll ihr Leben leben.

Ich hoffe das Du dem Jimmie nicht böse bist, weil er diesen Brief

Wir wissen das Du keine

Schuld hast.

von Jimmie ob Du Weinachten kommst?

Wir hoffen doch

In dieser. Woche, beziehen wir eine neue Wohnung zwei Zimmer

Da haben wir uns neue Gardienen einen grossen

Stubentisch 4 Stuhle und einen Gaskocher gekauft.

wir konnen vorwärts..

Auch haben wir einen Wellensittich.

Heute hat er den Jimmie einen. Kuss gegeben.

H4ttest Du mal

Und morgens wenn ich nicht gleich aufstehe macht er

solange Krach, bis ich aufstehe und mich mit ihm unterhalte.

will ich schliessen

Viele Grüsse und einen Kuss

von Deiner Schwester Maggie.

Schreibe bald wieder ja?

C...../to sheot5,

Ann [ contd.)
