On 30.IV.50

My beloved birthday child,

a hearty greeting and the very best
wishes for your new year!
I crawled out of the nest to write you
but head and hand are still not very willed
to try. If only the dear sun
would soon come and bring us fresh courage.!
I wanted to present you with a bouquet? but
who knows when it will be possible to be
on the lookout for it. Would you be angry at me
if I ask you to provide yourself with one? It is
better like that, you will get something suited to your
taste and I will be in unworried. Enclosed little banknote
should provide for that, it was meant for that for long.
Uncle Walter and Ruth just came in, they greet you
and wish you the best for your birthday with all their hearts.
Mr. Hesh is since yesterday again in Haan, the physician tries
his best to succed without operating. Poor
Hesch!- Now I wish Wilhelm a. you very sunny
days and a lot of happiness a. greet you in heart deep love

With a birthday kiss
your (you very much missing)
l. mother
