The left part of the card is in Russian:<\/p>\n
St[ation?] Yablonno Warsaw Province
\n8th Infantry Estland Regiment
\n6 Company
\nSharogorodsky<\/p>\n
The card is Chiam’s military unit address. The whole tenor of the text is Chaim’s attempt to make sure a letter from his parents will reach him — the postcard may have been put in an envelope as there is no evidence of a stamp or delivery address.<\/p>\n
Dear parents!
\nAt the begining of my writing I can (inform you?) of my health: (can only guess!) Things are looking up, and (concerning) writing you about my health you may look at this card, I\u2019m sending you, because I really didn\u2019t have\u2026\u2026. for a long time pangs (?) (?) something with soldiers? (don\u2019t know, something with you have to do something well\u201d)<\/p>\n
Dear parents!
\nDo write me (an explanation?) why for such a long time I didn\u2019t get from you any letter? And it\u2019s for nearly three \u2026\u2026.?., that I didn\u2019t receive any letter from you ?? ?? since I\u2019m not able, because the place is so very small, that there are no streets.
\nNow I\u2019m staying in Varsh\u2026 and I will be there after all until the 15th, (and) I\u2019m staying here since the 12th of August. Then I can write, that from the first of September we\u2019ll have the start of the season of going to (\u2026??)<\/p>\n
from me, your son<\/p>\n
I\u2019m greeting all my relatives (?)<\/p>\n
Please do write to my old address because (\u2026) will be and we are in Varshav and at the old address I can receive (the postings).<\/p>\n
Do write, soon!
