Dear you, Olga- I am so happy over your last letter. But I do not wish that you shall fear or be sad for the voyage over here. Then if you knew how fun such a trip is, you would not be sad. I know that if you are down or sad because of the trip, then I am the one to blame. And it hurts me if someone should be sad because of me. |
