Dear Vera,

Your Aunt told [me] about you, & I'm using the opportunity to send along heartfelt greetings from old friendship, at the same time, to your family. We're all pretty well set, and look toward the future trustingly. Did you know, by the way, that my sister Grete was released from her long suffering 5 weeks ago? [common German euphemism for dying].

Your old

Dear Mr. Georg,

Weeks ago I sent you a card with return card, have unfortunately remained without a response. Now I'm living out here in the country, still with many people I know, and am making an effort to become used to it. How are you, your dear wife, your Peter [le], Martin and your parents? Erich used to write me regularly, he, his Ilse, and your lady Mother.
Now it's all at an end.         .Heartfelt greetings, and you think of me.

Yours, Lucie Lasker
