OJ 14/10, [27] - Handwritten letter from Rosa Weil to Jeanette Schenker, dated August 28, 1935


⇧ Aussig, 28. Aug. 1935.


Meine liebe Schwester! 1

Ich hoffe, Du hast meinen Brief 2 erhalten, vielleicht war meine Adresse nicht ganz vollständig. Wenn das Wetter in Hofgastein anhaltend so ist, wie hier, mußt Du ja herrliche Tage verleben und ich wünsche {2} sie Dir bis zum Ende Deines Aufenthaltes damit Du ganz erholt und erfrischt nach Wien zurückkehren kannst!

Nimm diese Rosen zum 30. Aug. 3 mit meinen und Arnolds allerherzlichsten Wünschen!


Mit innigsten Grüßen
Deine
[signed:] Rosl.

Nächste Woche erwarten wir Lene zurück.

[bottom margin, p. 1:] Ich hoffe, Du bist ganz wolauf!

My dear sister, 1

I hope you received my letter. 2 Perhaps the address I gave was not quite complete. If the weather in Hofgastein is as constant as it is here, you must be enjoying magnificent days, and I wish {2} that may remain so for you to the end of your stay, so that you can be fully revived and refreshed for your return to Vienna.

Receive these roses for August 30 3 with Arnold’s and my most cordial good wishes.


With heartfelt greetings,
Your
[signed:] Rosl

We are expecting Lene back next week.

[bottom margin, p. 1:] I hope you are fit and well!
