Hallo List: The following article is translated to the best of my ability. ---------------------- Page 3, Die Welt-Post, Thursday, March 20, 1924 Letters from Russia Rosenberg, January 23, 1924 Highly esteemed Mr. Volz: Likewise I offer my congratulations on the New Year and wish for you God's rich blessings on this earth and also for the soul. Your postcard of 12 December of last year I received with thanks. It pleased me that you still think fondly of me. I often think of you and wonder if we will ever meet again.in this life. God knows, but we do not. I passed on your greetings. From your last shipment I received nothing. I will try to send you a report. The situation among the poor is sad; they lack bread and lack even more in the way of clothing. The prices of manufactured goods are not affordable for the poor. The situation of the widows and orphans is particularly sad. Many of this class of people have relations in America, who if they new the situation, could help them. Perhaps you could arouse the people in America to think of their poor relatives and take pity on them. I am ready to do whatever I can. ((A woman)) dropped by with a letter asking her relatives for assistance. She is terribly poor. My wife sends you her affectionate greetings. With friendly greetings, your friend, H. Stuerz Schoolmaster of Rosenberg, Umet You Rosenberg brethren in Scottsbluff, here is an opportunity for you and your village people to seize by the arms. Over time you have done much that is noble. It is a shame that some ((of your people)) will be lost ((die)). I have found in Schoolmaster Stuerz a faithful, sincere man, who you can entrust with your donations. J.
