Hello dear Musenka and my dear son Yashenka,

I feel bad that I haven't gotten a response from you. I sent you 2 telegrams and 5 letters and I do not know what to think, I worry a lot. Musenka, my gold, please write me if you and Yasha are healthy. Do not worry about anything, just eat and drink. God willing everything will be fine. I am longing for you. I am so lonesome. I hope to see you soon. Miron says hello, I am getting many letters from him. He works and is doing well. Send him a letter:

Kharkov,
Stalin Boulevard 199,
Chamber 36, 3-rd trade school.
Zakon M. A.

Greetings to all. Please respond.
I miss you.

Hugging you and Yasha. Stay healthy.

Write back.
