From Moers

29th December 1938

Dear Paul,

After I described my desperate situation so often to you now already, I am waiting with the greatest impatience for a conclusive answer. You know that in the very near future I shall no longer have a roof over my head. What will happen then? I know no other way apart from that. It is extremely urgent that the children and myself are provided for. Why do other children get away? I have been alone now for a year and a half with the three children and see no help from any quarter. You are there and there will probably be a way that for our children departure becomes possible too. The position is certainly urgent, and there is nobody here who can help me. Go immediately to the Comité once again and report my plight there. What otherwise will happen, I no longer know.

In great despair
