Description

Postcards are stapled together: two from Lipchitz to P.Dubaut and one from R. Longa to P. Dubaut.

These are postcards with set communication options and were monitored by the government postcards that didn't refer to family matters or any containing personal information were burned.

Set options:
'at, date 194..., good health/tired, lightly/badly sick/hurt, killed, imprisoned, died, with no news of, the family.......is okay, in need of provisions, money, news/luggage, back from, work at/go to school, has been received, going to, date, best wishes, kisses'.

Using this pre-printed form, Dubaut manages to give only basic information. For example, here he informs Lipchitz that 'Chaux is back home'.
