Thank you for everything you have done for me. I have received the money order from you and Uncle. Thank you kindly. My dears, I still didn't get the letter from my uncle. Please tell Uncle that I got the money and in the future he should use the same address as for the letter. Say hello to Urbanski and Alos that they will write to me. Please give him my address. My dears I received your letter with much joy. You write that you have bought me a suit but I don't know when I can wear it. Please write longer letters so I have more news from you. No news here. Kind regards and kisses for you my dear parents and sisters and brothers. Your son and brother. Please write soon...'' Dachau was the first and longest-running concentration camp of the Third Reich.
