Reading

Tanyusha!

Somehow I have long had no letters from you. I am not amused, and I remain in your debt.
I am alive and well.

I wish you health; greetings to papa and mama
with greetings —
Gennady.

I await letters.

1 March “Happy spring!”

Diplomatic transcription

Танюша!

Что-то уже давно
от тебя не получаю
писем. Мне не смешно
и остаюсь должником.
Я жив, здоров.

Желаю здоровья, привет
папе и маме с
приветом -
— Геннадий.

Жду писем.

1 марта «С весной!».

Notes

  • The name “Gennady” on the leaf is clear; identity with Gennady Vokhmintsev (heading on the 18 Nov 1943 letter) is likely but not proven by hand alone without verification.
  • Do not treat the year of neighbouring leaves as a fact for this leaf — only as a hypothesis to check.
