off together again back to our peace-loving household
penates;[9]
you can also say:
Let Providence protect me from my friends, for I can protect myself from my
enemies.[10]
It certainly is remarkable how we all are at once prey and hunter. Or is
it only that everyone thinks he is being pursued? I cannot quite sort it out. So we
are awaiting the things to come. Would you consent to having little Albert go to
Azzolini’s[11]
if it were completely impossible to abduct him to here? I spoke with
her yesterday about it. If little Albert could come to us, I would consider it best that
you gave us little Tete as
well.[12]
Since both the boys are so attached to each other,
it would be a great pity to separate them without good reason.
What you say about your state of health is not encouraging. It would plainly have
been better if you had not returned to Berlin so
quickly.[13]
I am very much looking
forward to your both coming to Switzerland. Then you will certainly soon regain
your former
weight.[14]
Although our years of plenty are over as well and we also
are living off foods which for the most part can only be had for a little slip of
colored paper, and quite a small packet on top of
it.[15]
But for the time being, it’s
not necessary to tighten our belts yet. For me neither, unfortunately.– More soon!
In the meantime, an affectionate kiss,
Maja.

Dear Albert,
I would like to ask you sincerely to send the money you have intended for us
directly to
me;[2]
likewise, when you wish any information regarding me or the
children, turn to me
directly.[3]
Otherwise misunderstandings are unavoidable,
which always involve agitation for me. In view of my so fragile state of health, I
hope that you will not reject this request of
mine.[4]

Dear Albert,
Dr. Zürcher is going to draw up a contract as soon as he has
time,[2]
and I’ll send
it to you then.
