Description
The letter itself was dated simply '24 February', the envelope was dated 27 November 1925. Probably, this is likely the first message from Bucher to Lipchitz. She addresses him as 'Lipschitz' and says that 'I like 'Liebschitz' very much', referring to the mistake of their common friend 'Sybile' and says a lot about the orthography of the Lipchitz's surname. The rest of the letter is composed of small talk with the description of nature around the place where she lives ('ten days of darkness') and asks to pass her greetings to Berthe and Andre [Shimkevich, Berthe's son].
