Letters from Lida - 79

Translated by Lena Gorina-Black

Dear Olinka!

I really did not expect this from you! Just think that in all this time I did not have the honor of  receiving a single letter from you. It is too bad that you are so far away or I would beat you up. Or you are not familiar with my fists? Look, Olinka, don’t try my patience and write me. Wish you be healthy and happy. With kisses,

 Frida

My regards to Vulv.

Why don’t you write me? What kind of memory do you have, I even did not know before.

<Yiddish or Hebrew>

Dear Fanechka! Frida wrote you about everything in detail so I don’t have anything to add. How are you doing? What are you doing? You wrote that you are surprised that for 3 weeks you did not receive any letters, just imagine that we did not have any letters for 6 weeks except for the note to Mishl. I think that if you wanted to, you could write a few words about your health. How do you feel? What do you wear? How did you settle? We wrote you a lot all this time, but if you will keep your silence we will respond same way. Yesterday Sonia Karpejskaya visited us and gave us regards from you. Today she promised to bring her guitar. Be healthy. Our heartfelt regards to Olenka. Why isn’t Velvul writing? I didn’t expect this from him. Tell him that he is a big <the word is crossed>. I repeat that we will pay back in a same way <Lisa used the Russian saying, meaning that they won’t write anymore if Vulv is not writing to them>
