Lieber Max! Vielen Dank für Deinen lieben Brief u. einstweilen auch für Liselotte vielen Dank für ihre lieben Zeilen. Heute möchte ich Dich nur bitten Deine Wäsche abzuschicken. Vater lag wieder ein paar Tage mit Fieber etc (Blasenkatarrh) zu Bett, ist aber heute wieder ziemlich munter. Ich schreibe bald mal ausführlicher an Dich. Für heute die herzlichsten Grüßen von Deiner Marianne.

Dear Max, Thank you very much for your nice letter. Many thanks as well to Liselotte for her kind note. Today, I would only like to ask you to send me your laundry. Father was in bed for a few days with a kidney infection but is doing better today. I will write you more soon. Warm regards, Marianne
