On Saturday, I received your excellent, lovely letter. It came a week after my Name Day; it seems that this is the fate of all those letters, they come late, not on time as expected.
My dear all, so many warm feelings, from the bottom of your hearts, are expressed in every word.
I shared your letter with my close friends, who are equally touched by it as I am. I would never have imagined that I would get so many signs of love for my Name Day from you and my current companions in those circumstances.
Now I am sure that we will spend together on my next Name Day.
It may be my last letter. I want to let you know that I am healthy and strong, physically and mentally. I can stand hardship and deeply believe, as I always thought, that I will return home.
I worry a lot about you, but I believe that Providence protects you against the storm and allows you to survive it.
How is your health? Please write to me. Hopefully, it will still reach me, describe in detail your everyday life and how my aunts and other relatives and friends are doing. The last parcel with Vaseline I got from you was dated the 7th of March.
I kiss your beloved hands and face. I always keep you in my thoughts and my heart.
Even if you do not get more letters from me, please remember that I always love you and believe that someday I will return home and we all be happy together.
Yours.
