Yes believe well the separation is extremly haral for us and I do not see up to the present the means of diminishing it. What consoles me a little is the knowledge that the dear family are well looked after and cared for, how could it be otherwise with such good parents? Myself I am well physically speaking. Good bye and please accept from both of us my best regards."
