Dear Parents,
I am leaving from Tarnow, they say the 27th of January or the 28th of January --- where I don¹t know. Maybe God will prevent anything from happening. If it will be possible to write from there, I will write. I was in jail with Staszek, but in the morning they called him out. I don¹t know if he is going with me ---pray for me and do make efforts [to help me] --- if it is necessary to give money, give it to the gmina [local government]. I have enough money here with me. On Daddy¹s Nameday I wish him health and that he will be alive when I return and that I will be healthy and come back --- and Mommy will take care of herself anf feel fine. Genia Wasida [?] prays for me. That¹s all for now -- let God have you in His care.
Yours,
Edek
