and occasionally with meat), bread, and two
glasses of tea. At bedtime, usually about 11
or 12.30, sometimes later, we had supper—
cusha boiled in fat, bread, jam and sometimes
cheese and tea. On several occasions we had
potatoes. After George Copping came to
live with us we helped him eat up some bacon
he had brought from Esthonia, and also some
eggs, which I very much fear cost him a small
fortune.
Because I was old and also because I was a little ill, I was given heat for my room : otherwise the house was always very cold, and I think all of us were ready for extra food, although I honestly believe we fared better than members of the Government. In any case I am sure we fared better than our friend Rosenberg, with whom on one occasion I had a meal.
Rosenberg fixed our appointments and interviews, and in a thousand ways was very helpful ; and I am glad to record my very grateful thanks for his assistance from start to finish of my visit.
