My Dear Parents,

I was very happy to receive your recent letter. On Wednesday I returned  from Apeldoorn. It took me only four hours.
I received a wonderful package from uncle Hermann. It included tea, coffee, cocoa, oil and many other good things. I hope that I soon will have the opportunity , through the efforts of the Red Cross, to be reunited with you.
I am looking forward my dear parents
 
In the meantime Alfred had visited his sister Gertrud, who lived with the Cahn family in Apelddorn. There was not any contact with her since he was arrested in spring  1943.
