My dear children
Writing from the road. We are traveling the 6th day in a goods van. Terrible cold. Don’t know when will we arrive to Samarkand. For the time being the health is not bad. Achile aunt is dying, don’t know what to do. Send the letters to the following address …………..
[Advise?] as you can.
Kisses. Mother, father and the whole family
Darlings, we are traveling, and traveling and traveling, like young. Everywhere is snow, but then later it will be warm. Still not clear where will we stay.
For the time being all are in good health, we are 25 here, and our belongings are with us.
Kisses, Musja
