Letter 36

Neuhaus, August 19

My dear Georg,

This is probably the last letter I will be writing you because in 8 days I am leaving. I am so glad and wish I were already there, I long for you so much. But I am afraid of the long journey this time, even more than before I left because at that time I did not know how it would be but now I know and I can tell you it's no fun. If I had known before I would never have left, it's too much trouble. The little one does not walk yet but wants to be everywhere. My dear Georg, when you get this letter, we'll already be on the ship or in New York and soon after that we'll be with you. We are leaving Sunday the 28th with the boat Lessing and everything else I will tell you in person when I get there. Now I have to stop, it's already 11 p.m. and I am very tired.

Good night my sweetheart, sleep well and remember you will not be alone for long after you get this letter, I'll be very close. Good night, my sweetheart, many kind regards also from Arthur and Ella and kisses from me your loving,

Gretchen

Sleep well my sweet, sweet Georg.
