Mamula, 09 February 1943
Dear Mama,
I received your letter dated 01 February, where you mentioned that Dad has gone to Trieste. Please write to me when he returns. Is Miliš still in Kotor? Let me know about that too. I received the package without any issues. Yesterday, I received a money order for 150 lire. My health is good, so don’t worry about me. How are you? Let me know if we’ll be travelling soon, as everyone is interested in that. Keep sending the package through Milojko Tadić as before. Send my regards to everyone in Topla. The sole of these yellow shoes has split in the middle, which is why I asked you to send me my old black shoes. This rubber is no good. If you think we’ll be travelling soon, please send me the black shoes. With all my love, your Krsto.

My dear family,
I received your card dated 26 March. In almost every card, you mention that I’m not writing. Writing is only permitted twice a month. I haven’t missed a single chance to write to you. If you’re not receiving the letters regularly, it’s not my fault. My health is good. I had mentioned that you don’t need to send amaretti or candies, as they take up space. Biscotti are more useful as they last longer and are more nourishing. Please send me some coffee. I received all the items that Vlado brought, along with the 50 lire, in good order. I received the package from 17 March on 24 March. With much love, yours, Petar.
