I just received the message that 35 dollars are here for
me and got paid out 805 Marks the other 400 Mks
I got a receipt and will get paid out in 14 days. I appreciate
the money with best thanks so much as I am much
in need as all others here. I wrote a letter about 2 weeks
ago and am now more able to tell about getting away
from camp. As soon we have the proper affidafits
(support, politish and moral affidafit) and the money
for the steamerticket we can apply for Marseilles
the money for the steamerticket has to be send to
to the Hias. They also will tell you what it costs
and all particular. I hope to receive papers soon
as I do not think that we stay at this camp
very long and would be better if we could
get to Marseilles. As if we would have to change
camps, it is possible that we three Martha
Lina Goldschmidt and I each one could get to
another place and be separated. I met so many
old acquaintance and relatives. A cousin from
Leimersheim I met, which everybody says she
favors me like a sister. Otherwise we are all well
and gotten used in those 6 months to our fat
There live 12000 people here which are nearly all
jews. There are few french and spain people here
They all nice to us, that we often forget that we are
not free. But there is no future whatever, as we have no
close relatives which could take us in their home or help
along to get us free. Just as I am writing this letter a lady
from the american joint wrote me to get information
if I received money from you and asked me if I have
relatives in France. I told the lady that I have distant
relatives, which send me packages mit food and a few pieces
of cloth, but is not enough to think that it reach us
and are not abel to do something for us to help us to get free.
So U.S.A. is the only hope for us. I suppose you received
my previous letters in which I mentioned my thanks
for the money from December and January from which
I given the 30 dollars to Lina Goldschmidt and Helen Simon
as IEdwin wrote
I hope you are all well and close with loving regards to you all and Maris[?] Samuels family and remain as ever
Your thankful sister Frida With kind regards Lina Goldschmidt My loving regards MarthaJust as I went to mail this letter from a businiss a writing that Silva[?]and Cosmo Vila de Nova De Gaia Portugal that they are requested to send me some food and should write what sample they should send me. I wrote they should send a small parcel about ½ Kilo. They are many people which gotten provisions by the way of Portugal - Lisabon and arrived all right. As soon I receive the parcel I will let you know what they send me.
With thanks for your great kindness
Your sister and Aunt Frida
