A Letter of Thanksgiving

The poor and suffering needy, who had to wait for the customs stamp of approval for the shipment of eight wrapped packages from Mr. George HUCK of Lincoln, Nebraska, wish to offer him their hearty thanks. How happy we poor are about it that you in America have aroused so many cheerful givers who have taken our great distress to heart and have taken pity on us.

Now, you people, through your cooperative gifts, which you so generously donated to us, we are so grateful for your help. We thank you that for your help we are still alive, for without it we would be finished. Your people would be victims of hunger. The extent of our hunger, which we mentioned in thanks messages written for us through the Uncle, had to be approved. Our thanks is much too inadequate compared to all the good which we received through you, you dear brother in America, provided for us. We can not repay you in this life, but we will very ardently pray to God the merciful, that tie, the provider of everything good, will now richly bless you here and in eternity.

We acknowledge the precious gifts you sent us, that your Christianity is not only in words alone, like it is the case with so many, but also stands in deeds.

Hearty greetings and blessing from all of us needy people indicated in the enclosed list.
