1Translation
Dearest, only life of mine! B"H _(Baruch Hashem / With God's Help)_
Today I received a dear letter from you, from which I have great joy that in a short time you intend to come to me.
Hopefully, dear Lajuka, this is true and by Rosh Hashanah (_Reischoschuua_) you will be here.
That is next week—the time is short—or I am hoping that together we will celebrate the great holiday (_jontof_).
You think that I do not know your difficulties; I know [them] very well, my child, only I am very agitated (_aufgeregt_) these days because people are spinning my head around [pressuring me] that I should depart with this passport, and I did not want to.
So yesterday I spoke with Dr. Schötz so that he would procure for me a stateless passport (_staatenlos Passport_) so that I can wait for you until you arrive, so we can discuss our matter together.
Probably I will succeed; I am going to the police tomorrow, or this business (_Geschäft_) will cost me a lot of money, and I must procure a medical certificate stating that I am sick and cannot depart, because I cannot give another excuse (_teretz_).

_(Top upside-down lines):_ He wanted to tell me that she should come for a visit, and he also asked me if you arrived from there. Yesterday I met up with Yossi.
_(Main text body):_ So understand me, dear child, that I have my own worries and yours as well, and that is why I am so terribly nervous that I cannot sleep and am going under [collapsing].
I am upset, dear Mojšuka [Moshé/Martin], that you didn't tell me earlier so I could send you a travel ticket. Here it doesn't cost much—$50 is too much money; it costs no more than 200–220 crowns in Swedish money.
If you don't have it yet, call me [message me] and I will send it to you immediately.
Now I come with a surprise: Manci [Manczi/Moncsi] was with me yesterday and she has decided to leave for the U.S.A., and she would like to wait for you at the station in Gothenburg together with me.
I hadn't seen her for a few months; she looks bad now [in poor health]. If she recovers, she can live together with us, because Sora is leaving for Palestine perhaps next week, and you will hardly find her here anymore.
Mojšuka, I am bringing my correspondence with you to a close; we will personally talk over everything in joy—feeling everything together will be much better.
With many greetings and sweet kisses from the bottom of my heart, your faithful Lajū [Laja/Lenka].
Goodbye [Until we see each other again]
På återseende _(Swedish: "Until we meet again")_
