Dear Friend,
A letter to your home-address in Bromberg was returned marked “addressee has left, new address unknown.” I had sent you a picture. It should have a message for you from me. …
It’s strange that just lately, as I was reading your letters, I should receive the note in which you break with me because I do not break with Socialism.
Have you become so hard, Servant of the Gospel of Christ?
Do you know what it means to live, for two years, locked up in a prison with its corridors, jammed in with such different kinds of people, – people who are sick and must live apart, one from another? If you discard me because of an idea behind whose polished mask are the centuries of bitterness, rebellion and disappointment – then Good-bye!
