[Letter]

9 August 1944

Hello Hela [Helena]!
To begin my letter I would like to send you my best wishes and let you know that I’m in the detention camp in Brno. Please let me know where my cousin Sláfka from Napajedly is. Pass on my best wishes if she’s with you in the camp. If not, and if you know where she is, then please write to her and tell her to write to me as soon as possible, because I’ve no idea of what’s happened to my family. Hela, if Sláfka isn’t there, then please write and let me know who is there with you from Velký Ořechov near Brod [presumably Uherský Brod]. My wife is from Vel. Ořechov and her name is Hedvika Danielová, née Heráková. You’ll remember me, I’m her husband, Kašpar Daniel, from Napajedly. This would make me so happy because I’ve heard nothing about my wife and children for such a long time, I haven’t seen them for over 2 years. If Sláfka is with you, then please read this letter to her and could she please write to me what she knows about my family. Sláfka knows my family well. Hela, you’d surely like to know who’s writing this letter to you. We were together in the camp in Hodonín u Kunštátu. Let me know about Lojza and Vlasta from Kněžpole. If Sláfka is there, then please send her my love. I’d also like to send best wishes to Tonda. I’m in Brno in the Robotárna. Hela, I knew nothing about you, but Josef Krkoška has given me your address. He writes to you and you to him.
