my dearest kitty,
the proverb "misfortunes nevere singly" defi- nitely applies to today. peter just got through saying it. let me tell you all the awful things that have happened and that are still hanging over our heads.
first, miep is sick, as a result of henk and aagje''s wedding yesterday. she caught cold in the westerkerk, where the service was held. second, mr. kleiman hasn''t returned to work since thest time his stomach started bleeding, so bep''s been left to hold down the fort alone. third, the police have arrested a man (whose name i won''t put in writing). it''s terrible not only for him, but for us as well, since he''s been supplying us with potatoes, butter and jam. mr. m., as i''ll call him, has five children under the age of thirteen, and another on the way.
tuesday, wednesday and thursday i was in peter''s room from four-thirty to five-fifteen. we worked on our french and chatted about one thing and another. i really look forward to that hour or so in the afternoon, but best of all is that i think peter''s just as pleased to see me.
yours, anne m. frank
