Dear Liese,

Please write a petition to Hoffert making a plea for help, maybe God can and will bring us through. Many die of starvation. God bless you, J.R.

I am actually ill with concern for my poor child. If only I could talk to her. I firmly believe God will make it possible. Help us to pray that God will make all things well. Do not work too hard, look after yourself. I will send Liese's letter which we received today. I have again cried a great deal. I am going to the Kommandant and then I want to go to see her tomorrow. I just cannot write any more. I will report more the next time. God be with you, Marie.
