\nLiebe Hanne!<\/em>
\nDein Kartchen habe ich gestern abend mit vielen Dank erhalten. Wie geht es Dir nun? Hoffentlich geht gut, was ich auch von mir berichten kann. Leider kann ich Dich am kommenden Sonntag nicht besuchen. Werde aber, wenn es Dir recht ist, einen Sonntag sp\u00e4ter kommen, also am 27.10. Vielleicht kannst Du mir Anfang der Woche bescheid geben, ob Du am 27.10. zeit hast. Werde Dir dann darauf noch kurz mitteilen, wann ich in H\u00fcsel ankomme. Also sei nicht b\u00f6se und auf ein frohes Wiedersehen in Kurzer zeit, beliebt mit freundlichen gr\u00fc\u00dfe, deine Anneliese<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday, the 18th of October, 1940
\nDear Hanne,
\nI was delighted to receive your card last night. How are you doing? Hopefully you are well, which I can say that I am. Unfortunately, I cannot come visit you this upcoming Sunday. I will try to come at a later Sunday, if that works for you, so on October 27th. Maybe you can let me know by the beginning of the week, if you have time on 10\/27. And then I\u2019ll let you know shortly what time I can arrive in H\u00fcsel. So don\u2019t be upset and I\u2019ll see you soon, with love and friendly greetings, your Anneliese<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
