Notes

Item text: "Dear Dan, After having received your letter of March 28th I felt I had not to tell you anything about my Home affair, before I got into touch again with Mr. Fellows, according to your suggestion and my own intention. So it came that I got your letter of May 30th, and I thank you very much for it. It proved that in the mean time you got some information from Mr. Roland Irvine, and I enclose a letter form Mr Fellows, which will add some details to it. Referring to that letter I have to state that Mr F. in answer to another call of mine that his or Mr. I's friend, who was supposed to check with the Home and find out, whether my name has been moved from the 6th to the 4th, unfortunately has left N. Y. - I do not think I should contact that gentlemen of the Bank again, as the "situation has not become really desper-ate." Yet, I will, of course continue going after my original purpose to enter the 87th street- Home, even if no particular wish on my side will be ob-vious. For it would mean very much to me to have the certainty to be admitted sometime in the near future. To make my money go somewhat faster, I accepted a little job last week: doing some daily housework, not very far form my room. I hope I will be able to keep it up, though my shoulder is not entirely good up to now. Though I have not yet mentioned Fanny and her sufferings, you will realize how much I am depressed by then. You are well informed about her condition and the change in her placement. Before I was with her during a great deal of the day; now she is too weak to appreciate any com-pany, mostly being under the effect of the drugs, which are supposed to make her pains bearable. How much your help is cooperating it is, I of course know very well. Erich, also his wife, try their best in their care for her, too. I would like to hear some news about your and your family. How are you personally feeling and how is Ike? Where will you spend the summer/ I would be very glad if I'd meet you here once. Now, apologizing for my belated letter I send you and all the others my best regards. Truly yours, Rosa (1 enclosure)
