She said they didn’t want to hold me but wanted, nonetheless, to speak with Mama or Papa and present their side. When I said I’d be happy for that – that I’d ask Papa to visit them around Christmas – she said that wouldn’t do either and there was no point in it. I’ll tell you everything in person before I say anything at home, because Papa will surely start a big commotion again, and for Jesus’ sake I’d rather avoid any unnecessary scenes. But I think I won’t go back to the Hachtmanns after Christmas. Could you please start thinking about another place for me instead? The situation here is getting impossible, although I’m sure I’m to blame as well. I’ll tell you everything when we’re together. They were very nice to me in the end, but that just makes it a better time to leave. I’ve tried it for nearly four months. I told Frau Pastor that I’d never been involved in anything as unpleasant as my experiences in Brumby and that she could ask the Freybes or inquire at the hospital, etc., to verify this. But enough of that. I’m happy that I have you and will see you so soon and can tell you everything. How I look forward to praying with you! Jesus protect us both until we meet again! In him always, your faithful Emmy
