Dear Otto,
Thousand thanks for your dear letter, that I have been so waiting for. It makes me so happy that you can forgive me. I will certainly never do it again. When you buy a car now, then will you visit me soon? Otto I would be so happy. You will soon learn to drive, don’t you think?
I don’t understand why Alois had written to me that they haven’t received a letter from you. My friends from Austria who are hard working write that not much is new there. If you should come back, you will probably also have a little homesickness. The women also go swimming a lot and I share it with them. Since they all could swim, I had to always stay by our things since no one wanted to do it. They write to me a lot, but it would be of little interest to you. In Austria it was very beautiful, do you not sometimes think of the times back in Austria? If only one of my friends would come out. I think I will have to bury myself in loneliness soon. You can still be happy that no relatives have since come out. We already have had enough of our dear aunt. We don’t know what to do with ourselves , but we have no other choice but to stay until we find an apartment within our budget. It is unbearable with her.
We pay $80 a month for food and I’m rarely eating at home, that makes me glad I don’t have to. Nearly every morning she gives us a bowl of milk and dry bread. My father says he believes it is not necessary that we in America eat dry bread, or eat beans or peas and turtle meat every day. It is very difficult for us, we must always count on it. If my mother were here it would be different. I wrote to you a lot today. Many greetings and kisses from your Elis.
I’m waiting with longing for you Otto!
