Lieber Herr Dr. Bredig,

ich muss um Entschuldigung bitten, dass ich Ihnen erst heute die $5.- schicke, die Sie fuer die Pakete Dr. Hochwald ausgelegt haben. Hat Dr. Hw. eigentlich Ihre Adresse mit erhalten, sodass wir evtl. erfahren koennen, ob die Paeckchen auch wirklich angekommen sind?

Was hoeren Sie von Ihrer Schwester? Man hoert jetzt hin und wieder von erteilten Visen, allerdings aus Deutschland.

Bei mir ist nichts Neues. Ich hoffe, dass es Ihnen und Liselotte sowie der ganzen Familie gut geht.
Allerseits herzliche von

Ihrer Ilse Hayn

Dear Dr. Bredig,

I have to apologize for just now sending you the $5 that you spent on Dr. Hochwald’s packages. Did Dr. Hochwald receive your address so that we can possibly find out if the packages actually arrived?

Do you hear any news from your sister? Every now and then, there is news about issued visas, especially from Germany.

There is nothing new with me. I hope that you, Liselotte, and the whole family are doing well.

Warm regards,
Ilse Hayn
