Dear Otto!
Just came from work and received your letter as a firm reinforcement, which I will respond to you immediately. I’m going to my aunt’s today and then I’ll give it up right away.
My fear of losing you is so immense. That’s why I always worry. Maybe it’s really unnecessary. Yes, I want to believe and I believe you as well, however sometimes I can’t stop it. Did I make you angry again? Yes? Forgive me please. You are very right, because you think that money is better brought elsewhere, I agree with you on that.
What do you think I’ll buy myself, when I start to work properly? I don’t have to give my father any money, I’ll save everything and then Otto if we maybe get married, there will be beautiful furniture, ice box, washing machine, electric stove, beautiful curtains and linens and everything one needs. I could probably go on about everything I want to buy right away. Then later we can build a small house and plant lots of flowers. Do you think that would be very nice? Let’s both hope for the best, a proper, beautiful future with you Otto.
I’ll close for today, sending heartfelt greetings and a thousand hot kisses from your dear Elis.
I love you!
What is everyone else up to? You never wrote to me about Elfie, does she like it?
