A letter from Molly Picon to her mother from Paris, dated August 23.

Part 2 and part 3.
The text of the letter reads as follows:
August 23 -46
 Paris -

 Dear Mumsy-
 To-day we got half a dozen letters from home and your  last letter saying you were glad we weren't going to  Poland and we just returned from there! We wrote you  we weren't going so you wouldn't worry because we know  the papers have been writing about anti semitic riots  and murders there - but we felt, Yonkel and I, that our  real job was just in Poland, especially after the  terrible pogrom in Kelz - We felt we would have been  deserters not to go where our people needed us most.  So we went mamma and to tell you what our coming meant  to those people would need a year - we were in Poland 21  days - had 19 appearances and every minute was  thrilling -

 We worked very hard - living conditions are beyond  description - we didn't have a bath in three weeks - we  slept on a collection of mattresses that defy defining -  we traveled in open trucks after a show - all perspired  and hot with the rain pouring down on us - we sung in  barracks...
