Letter, Part 2 -
I still haven't received any letters from Anna, I would really like to know if they are well and happy. Dear father in 6 weeks we will have our holidays from the Pastor which will last for 4 weeks, the two other boys here are going to stay with their families and I would like to ask your permission to go and see you as well for two or three weeks holiday, because it will soon be 5 years since I last saw you. O my dear good father, allow me this, don't refuse me this request, you have also allowed Anna to go on a journey and she came to see me. You must know, my dear father, that I am big enough and old enough to travel by myself. I know the way and also the shortest and easiest way, and that ... with pleasure on arrival at Loucher to throw myself into your arms, you will find me very changed now my dear father, please be kind enough to reply and to give me this permission.
