But you have reached the right address: Jeanette Kornfeld was my grandmother. Since I am now about to set off on two weeks' holiday, I will not answer your letter until my return, which will be the end of May or the beginning of June, because I really must look again through the old letters [in my possession] and hope that I will find something of interest to you and that you could use. For now with greetings, [signed:] T. Kornfeld [written sideways in left margin:] Ústí nad Labem, May 5, 1988
