My dear Uncle and Aunt,

I received your letter today which was a delight for us to read, and to know that we now have a new little cousin. Suzy and I, we are both in good health. For the moment we are at Chaumont with our auntie who is very kind to us. We often receive news from our Aunt Flora, and from our grandmother who is in Palestine, and from Uncle Siegfried. The only language that I can speak is French. I’m going to school every day. Suzy goes to school, too.

 

I have lots of nice friends who are really nice to Suzy and me. I hope that you are doing well.

With a big hug and 10 10 10000800 000 00 100000 kisses Suzy Beatrice Stern
During the big summer vacation period we will learn English
