Description
Full text (in translation):
'Monday
My dear friend,
Those little words from your letter find me in bed where I have been laying for the past two days due to fever and shivering. Hopefully, it's nothing and within a few days I will be able to get back on my feet. Be reassured about your package, I will be picking it up on the agreed date. I always think about my 'Promethee' and it brings me courage and trust, do you remember about the beast, it's solidly attached to the sides of the 'Promethee' but there is nothing to do for it, it's lost.
Best wishes to you and your family. Lipchitz'.
