A letter to his wife written before Christmas 1941. As in other letters, in the content of this letter - at the beginning, when it relates to Christmas, as well as at the end - strong Catholic devotion of Baruch is apparent. The content of the letter: "My only Zosieńko! | It is difficult for me to describe how sad Witek got when I found out from Ms. Moria [?] that My Only Child would probably not come, the first Christmas in 20 years, that we will not be together and we are not able to do anything about it and we have to come to terms with it, I am asking God that we could at least eat the easter meal together, sadness overwhelms me all the more when I think how lonely you are, My Zosieńko; although I am not alone here, but I do not have any feelings for these people, they seem close, but complete strangers at the same time, sometimes it seems to me that I have never had anything to do with them, so if our meeting before Christmas does not take place, I am sending you Zochno My only one best Christmas greetings and I am sharing The Wafer with My Child in the hope that maybe we will see better times, although it seems that for us here very difficult times are approaching, so people say, my departure seems to be a big mistake. | How are you, Zochna, how do you feel, are you healthier and how is your business, did Boj give you a second installment, because if not, then the Child is penniless for Christmas, I gave my PKO book and I will probably get the money in the second half of January Heńkas have no cash at the moment, because they were not able to sell the share yet, the buyers are delaying, and they even own me around one hundred zlotys, so if you come Zochno, don't bring any cold cuts for them, they wanted to sell half of the pate, but finally they ate it. I have the impression that nothing will come out of the coat for Mrs. M. she would like it cheap and nice, and it is not so easy found nower days, there was a nice mink coat today, but about 3,000. I called Janka, nothing new with her, she asked you to come see her, with Stasek [?] it should be fine in the following days, I will call her and Mania for the name day. They say it is quiet downstairs, did you, Zochno, talk with the Sobchaks, is the woman of Olech sweeping, because I was afraid that Mr. Ol. will make problems, and what's up with My Kid, I am in a hurry to write the letter, because I have the opportunity to send it, it is almost 7 pm. and I have to take it to the church at Plac Grzybowski. Zosieńko, did you take the violin from the pantry, because it will get ruined there. So, once again, I wish you My Zochna, consolation in God, and believe me, that every beat of my heart beats for my special, good, and only Zochna, so I kiss you millions of times and let God reduce your loneliness. Zosieńko write to me, and on Christmas Eve I will eat a piece of [the] wafer that I left for myself. See you Dear Zosieńko. Always yours, the same | Witki.”
