Design ! Hela S c hüt t e Brünn, 9.9.1944. Dear Mutz ! Didn't you get my last letter? Please, please answer this one immediately! It is very important to me. Why? - Yes, dear Mutz! I am left again, alone in the terrible world, because Fritz fell on 25.8. at the attack on the work. He is no longer. I can't believe it yet. - I can't stay here alone with the children. I want to leave here with everything at the beginning of October. Now I have a request to you: You know better through your husband the political situation and the related internal difficulties. Let's get out of here as far as the trains are concerned, at the start of Oct. or it's better to drive as quickly as possible. The furniture comes away from the work, that goes without saying, only the whole human being is gone and looks black. I myself do not believe in an uprising or something like that and the thought 77 hh of a "curse" into the realm, as so many people just think, would never have come to me. But over there you can see black. Ask your husband what he means, should we leave here as soon as possible, in order to get away at all or it is still enough in the 1st oct. week. I would have done some things here, which I would like to do myself. However, I could also, if it should be, get sent by an acquaintance then. But please, what do you mean? I hope that you and yours will be all right. Can we see each other again? I can't leave now. And you? Be very warmly greeted by your Hela. S.L. 849/4
