Lodz, 5 March 1937

Dear and devoted cousin Shloymele,

We wanted to write to you a number of times, but our hearts are
so broken up that we are not able to write.  We miss our mother
wherever we turn; particularly on a Sabbath or a Holiday do we
note that someone at the table is missing...  A year ago this
time, we brought her home from the hospital, although she was
not well, but ill.  Nevertheless, we thought that we would be
able to save her life...

The only consolation we find in our lives is our dear and
devoted father who is so loyal and faithful to us.  We are
united, Shloyme, just as you suggested in your letter, and we
hope that the love which exists between us and our dear father
will be able to last for a long, long time.  

We often speak of you in our home and with the family.  You are
the only one who is interested in our situation.  Will fate ever
bring us together?  This is a question for you.  The future can
bring anything about. 

Well, heartfelt regards for you and your family from us lonely
children,

		Rivke and Yosef Lewkowicz
