Scope and content
From Hans in Sprendlingen. After worrying and imagining all sorts of things, Hans has just received three letters from Hella. He had a call from a friend Georg who asked if he was in love. Hans regales Hella with the answer he gave Georg. The news from Berlin is contradictory and Hans finds it difficult to know how conditions really are there. As far as food goes, Hans is doing well, in fact, he has put on a lot of weight. He is finding life tough. Working all day clearing rubble brings him face to face with the suffering of people. He has heard that Hessen will get its own border police and reminisces back to a car trip through Holland, and Brussels to Paris. He dreams of a small island for the two of them where he can create his own world. He hopes to have his new office ready to move into by May. He asks when they will next meet. He wants to go on a winter sports holiday at the beginning of March and it would be lovely if she could come too. He asks if she has news from Witzke, he no longer has his address. With envelope.
