Dear Eliezer,
I have written to you at our own address. I happen to be at
Yedidi's who said that I can't be certain that my letter will
reach you and suggested that I write again and send this letter
together with this.
[There is a standard repetition of his
blessings and good wishes]
Prices of food are going up. Corn is over
thirty, potatoes six, black bread thirty-two to thirty-eight [currency is groschen per kilogram].
The rains have arrived. As I'm writing this, a downpour
accompanied by hail has lasted two hours. Cattle have come down
[in price] by fifty [percent].

expressions and good wishes] |
