Translation of a postcard, May 25, 1915, from Kralowskie Winogrady (Bohemia). Written in Czech.
"My dear Friend,
"We have got your postcard and we wish you a happy return. We are often thinking of you. Here there is no news, only hunger and shortage of bread. Many of the bakeries are closed. Flour is not to be bought; meat is very dear. Soon there will be a general crisis."
