We have a postcard she mailed 27 Feb 1920 to her sister Mrs. Chas. Gust in Riga, saying "Lieber Schuester, Ich wünsche dir ein gesunda geburtsäg und noch fille [viele] mehr von Bertha." We translated this (with help by A. Keyser) as "Dear sister, I wish you a happy birthday and many more." Matilda died about 7 months later.
