First of all, I would like to inform you that I received your letter, from which I learned that we have a newborn daughter, Anna. I often worried about you and your well-being following the birth of your little one, but thank God, as I know from your letter, everything has gone well so far. Now your task is to raise and care for the new member of our family until my arrival\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Dunka, I&#8217;ve received two letters from you since then, written from the village of Dublin, to which I replied at your address in Dublin. I don&#8217;t know whether you received them or not. If you did, then write to me and tell me how my parents are doing, and how you&#8217;re all doing in general, what you&#8217;re sowing, and what you think about building houses. Write to me and tell me how our parents are doing, because I haven&#8217;t received any letters from them. Well, goodbye. Pavel\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The subsequent fate of the author of the letter and his family is unknown.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\"  width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"gen_table\">\n<tr align='center'>\n<td align='center'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archives.gov.by\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-27.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" id=\"media-1086591\" class=\"wp-image-1086591 alignnone size-full\" width=\"60%\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align='center'><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align='center'>\n<td align='center'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archives.gov.by\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2-22.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" id=\"media-1086592\" class=\"wp-image-1086592 alignnone size-medium\" width=\"60%\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align='center'>1-2.
