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 Ust-Kulalinka (Galka) Esteemed Mr. Volz: Recently my father received a postcard (from you) from which we saw that you are still healthy and had not forgotten us here. In this small card you ask to whom one could send money? My Papa has written a few times--I however turn to you and ask if you could send me some support. As you know I can no longer hold the position of Schoolmaster since I have lost my voice, and because of this much is lacking in my family which consists of 8 souls. You know, dear Mr. Volz, that even without many words from me, that I am worthy of support. If you can and would, as quickly as possible, reach out your hand to me, I would be very grateful. I have to pay the doctors and for medicine. Also please, would you again open your generous hand as we are dependent on sowing but we cannot do so without paying for the acreage, etc. May God bless you and all donors and give you good health and well-being. With greetings, Peter Rusch, former Schoolmaster This man served his best years and was last the Schoolmaster in Neu-Schilling in Kamenka Kanton. I became personally acquainted with him and also gave him support. At the time he made the long trip to Saratov to the doctors there told him they could only provide alleviation for his condition and no cure. He can no longer use his voice as in former times. The poor man was at that time very depressed over this. You dear readers and compatriots, if anyone knows or has a sympathetic heart, here is a case truly worthy of support. I cannot follow up on all the requests for assistance that come to me. Since my return I have already sent a few dollars over there. J.
