Dear Marta & Isha,
Dear Mrs. Pryshlak,
God bless and your beloved father and husband. He was a very important person for me in my life. I enjoyed his musical talent, his kindness, his intelligence and the hospitality, that I enjoyed at your home in Hartford, especially during the two years, that I was teaching in the Ukrainian School in Hartford. I send you all my love and compassion for this great loss for you and for many other people who knew Pan Pryshlak. Sending you good greetings and wishes from Austria, Bohdan Hanushevsky
