Letter from Tzinia Flaksman Baron to Sima Flaksman Lewak, 3-12-1987

12 March 1987

Dear Simah,

We are not in peace since there was no a letter from you. I ask you very much to write just a few words. We want to know how your health is, what Rachel is doing, and obviously we want to know how Hershlen is.

Here life is not free of troubles also; we have a lot of troubles with Anat and her husband. He is a clever man, a nice looking man but he has Schizophrenia. Lately he was hospitalized for few months in the restricted compartment. Now he stopped working, what I can tell you, you know very well what it means to live with a person who is not normal from time to time.

Also Anat is not always OK as it should be; she gave a birth to a beautiful daughter named Dana, on 8 August 1986, but she wants to do everything herself with a child and it disturbs the growth of the girl. So there are fighting because she is stubborn - much sorrow, so it troubles us a lot. The most important thing for the girl is to be healthy.

Dear Simaleh answer my letter immediately, cordially regards from Botzken, Janet, Shlomo, Sylvia and her family.

We are greeting cordially your son and the family, and Rachel with a hope for better news.

Yours truly,
Tzinia.
