<p xml:id="de.n001" corresp="#en.n001">…<ref target="#soh.sto001.00069.n01">1</ref>chic, Ferienplätze ausfindig zu machen, sicher war
das eine volle Erholung, allein auf einer einsamen Insel,
das ist ungefähr was ich auch brauchte nach all
dem Kinderlärm den ganzen Tag. Stellen Sie sich doch
bitte vor 28 Kinder allein zu haben, alle Augenblicke
macht ein Junge Dummheiten, einer fällt hin, ein
kleiner Bub hat sich gestern beim Fallen die Brille
zerbrochen und dadurch an der Schläfe verletzt. Ich
bin seit Donnerstag Abend bis Sonntag ganz allein,
mein Direcktor ist mit seiner Frau nach Strasburg
gefahren und ich habe die ganze Verantwortung und Arbeit allein.
Mein Bruder ist seit 3 Wochen vom Militär freigekommen
und ist nun gerade zu den <unclear/> in <unclear/>. Sie
können sich denken, daß das wieder eine neue Sorge
für mich ist. Ich schicke Ihnen ein Bildchen von <unclear>Miriam</unclear>,
sie ist lieb und gesund.</p>

<p xml:id="de.n002" corresp="#en.n002">Viele Grüße an Ihre Lieben und besonders herzliche <unclear/></p>

<p xml:id="en.n001" corresp="#de.n001">…<ref target="#soh.sto001.00069.n01">1</ref>chic, managing to find vacant vacation spaces – that must have been real rest and relaxation, being alone on a secluded island. That’s pretty much what I need after dealing with the noise of children all day long. Just try to imagine being alone in charge of 28 children, every moment some boy making mischief, or one falls down. One small boy fell and broke his glasses yesterday, injuring himself on his temple. I’ve been working completely alone from last Thursday until Sunday, as
my director left with his wife on a trip to Strasbourg and I have full responsibility and must do all the work.
My brother has been furloughed from the military for 3 weeks now, and has presently gone to the <unclear/> in <unclear/>. You can imagine that this is yet another cause for worry for me. I’m sending you a photo of/picture from <unclear>Miriam</unclear>,
she’s a darling, and healthy.</p>

<p xml:id="en.n002" corresp="#de.n002">Lots of greetings to all of you (or to your loved ones), and particularly warm <unclear/></p>
