⇧ My dear Wilhelm, 1

Thanks for your first postcard. 2 However, in the meantime shouldn’t you have received my letter?? I laid out at length what we’re doing here. Up to now, still not a peep out of Mozio! From Jetty also still no news.

[The three arrows] show our room, our balcony, our bedsheets.


Many kisses and greetings to you both and guests
