Many thanks for Your letter – I was

so happy, when I understood, that You were

not annoyed with me – it was

a strange way to ask You to

obtain flour for me from Meyer – so

I thought, that You might have reason

to find it tactless of me;

but I was in desperate straits – so

it seems You have forgiven me for that. – I

am writing only a few lines today –

I will write a long very long

letter in a few days if You are

interested. – This has been a terrible

time for me – I have not seen any

cash since New Year’s – summons and hocking

will soon become the order of the day – I will simply

not appear before the commission –

for that I am too nervous – I will get

a small fine perhaps – but I am now

prepared for the eventuality, that I will have to appear some time

this spring, and by then the debt may well increase.
