This letter is undated, but the text suggests that it was written around June
23, 1937 and accompanied Letter 3. Letter with no
envelope
Dear Eliezer,
I have written to you at your own address. I happen to be at Yedidi's who
said that I can't be certain that my letter will reach you and suggested that I
write again and send this letter together with his.
[There is a standard repetition of his blessings and good wishes]
Prices of food are going up. Corn is over 30, potatoes 6, black bread 32-38
[currency is groschen per kilogram]. The rains have arrived. As I'm writing
this, a downpour accompanied by hail has lasted two hours. Cattle have come down
[in price] by 50 [percent].
