Field post card – Dordrecht – Schiedam – 14 December 1939
“To the Fam
A Borgström
Amperestraat 18
Schiedam
Not very well yet. I’ll still be in bed on Saturday and Sunday. The fever was still too high — 39.3 — and I’m very tired, but that will pass again. Well, goodbye, greetings from your son. If you write, send it by field post, then I will still receive it on Sunday morning. Goodbye now, see you. — the rest is unreadable — … all right, goodbye now. T.H.M. Borgström … coffee tent Willemsdorp.”
