Wir sind gesund, haben aber sehr viel Aufgeregtes durchgemacht u. waren u. sind in der großen Sorgen. Was werden soll ist noch ganz unklar. Aber man muss den Mut nicht sinken lassen.
Herzlichste Grüße für Dich u. Fajans von uns Allen.
Marianne u. Vater

Du schriebst, bei der Vanadium Corporation, erhalten, so bist vielleicht in der Lage für 1 Kind 50 Pfund pro Jahr zu garantieren, sodaß es in Engl. untergebracht werden konnte, od., wenn dies inzwi. wichtiger geworden ist (wie ich annehme), dem Viktor den Aufenthalt in England als Durchgangsland zu ermöglichen (Voraussetzung ist nat. das Affidavit). Ladenburg-Talmann hat abdepeschiert.
Die Kanadamöglichkeiten haben sich auch als nichts vorhanden herausgestellt. Mit „vielleicht“ ist uns nicht mehr gedient.

We are healthy, but have experienced a lot of stressful moments. We were and are still very worried. What will happen is still very unclear. However, you can’t lose heart.
Warm wishes for you and Fajans from all of us.
Marianne and Father

You wrote that you were accepted at the Vanadium Corporation. Hence, perhaps you can sponsor the living costs of one child for £50 a year in England. Or could you could facilitate Viktor’s stay in England as a transit country, which I presume has become more important (the affidavit is of course a prerequisite)? Ladenburg-Talmann has sent it.
The possibilities in Canada are also non-existent. “Maybe” no longer serves us well.
