Sliedrecht, 9 June 1939
Dear Henk, Hereby a postcard, and we have received your letter, which made us happy. But I thought I read that you were coming home, and it turned out to be the other way around. That’s a pity, because I had hoped all week for Saturday. And now you’re not coming. Can’t that be changed somehow? If possible, please switch it, because if you let it pass again this time, it might be four weeks, Henk. Fortunately, it is no longer so hot now. … … …. Just send along the dirty laundry, then I will give you clean things again. But you really must come yourself. I’m counting on you this Saturday. See you then. All the best. Greetings from all of us.”
