To compare: “Postcard to Poline from Aron March 9, 1914.”

The child is, Gellen’ka, very bad and cries every day and every night and gives nothing! He is crying longing for his grandmother that is why I sent him. Gellen’ka, give your hand to your old grandmother, make a curtsey, like that!!! Tell her: Good day, Old Grandmother, give her your small mouth. Now give flowers to your grandma, the flowers that the old guy bought by the entrance to the garden. In return the old lady gives you (not clear-S.A.). Tell her mercy, give her your hand, make a curtsey and say: Good bye Old Grandmother. You are not going to cry anymore? Uh? Uh?
