To Marianne Hapig and Marianne Pünder

Up to now there’s one obvious purpose.

Help with further prayers.

In Georg’s last letter there’s a possible way to get a go-between with Munich.  Otherwise Alfred Sebastian’s father can help.

To Franz von Tattenbach SJ

Dear Tatt,

This week has been the hardest of all these many weeks….I’m taking this tough week as an obligation to believe, pray, and hope even more.  It was like that on January 11, and now on Tuesday again.  Perhaps this is the bridge that’s placed over marshland in order to provide a good passage.  Also, perhaps it’s simply the link to the fruitfulness of your enterprises….

God protect you.  And thanks for all your loyalty and love.
