Copy. 17.11.1940 ENNS 9 pinyaeyuyun Dear Papa, dear mother and dear siblings! 10U 22.M.40. ettd doI ci 0hop4 I would like to tell you something about our day run. Now we are soon a week away from you loved ones. When we came here, we saw how still beds were driven to our castle. We always waited for cupboards. To this day, you dear ones see it on the datei there are no cabinets available. At lunch and other meals we had to work for hours until there was something. 7oo pupils. Among them folk, middle and high schools. The elementary school with which our school sleeps together, sometimes noises until 12 o'clock and does not want to sleep dBD.fISSBO NC. And we can't do it before noise. Dear Muttel, You said I had my night's sleep. I prefer to have three follow-up alarms in Berlin. Yesterday l6.ll.40 there were two cartgoats, and the sauerkraut, which the pupils did not eat on their telephones. They had also eaten all the meat dumplings.

Stockings do not stuff us humans. Tables to write are not there. Not to think about. Always write on the beds. The young people have the upper hand. The teachers have nothing to say. Because of every little thing must be started, and then the HJ leaves us standing. I sometimes freeze my bones. The elementary school searches for the quarrel, strife and the fight where it finds it. Perhaps you laugh at this letter, but we don't laugh. That's true, I promise you. I don'T have L 38 ./ IV zū
