My dear loved ones!
We haven’t heard from you for quite some time, but we hope, God willing, that you are all well. Thank heavens, as far as health is concerned we are doing just fine. Let’s hope that you received our mail in the meantime. Perhaps you might have received a telegram concerning emigration to Ecuador, prior to receiving this postcard. We hope that you could find out all the details, and arrange for first
steps to be taken. You know for sure, of course, how very much our dear parents
are longing for all of you; I just can’t describe it to you!
 As I found out in Fulda, the earnest money for a whole family - for Joseph, his family, and parents - amounts to only $ 460.oo; so please do all that’s in your power. Word has it, that it is supposed to be better to appear in person in New
York. If that’s really necessary, couldn’t Tony take care of it, since for her it’s not that far. Anyway, I hope that you, dear Erna, and you, dear Hermann, will do your utmost to help. I’ll be writing to Bochum, that they are supposed to contact Paul
as far as this matter is concerned. I hope that we will receive detailed information from you pretty soon.
Take heartfelt greetings and kisses from all your loved ones, especially from me, Lilly, who loves you very much.
