رسالة الى الاب طوبيا عطاالله من نديم عطاالله

A letter from Nadim Attallah who asks why he doesn't receive letters since Krouger does and asks whether they are angry at him, or denied his kinship. He explains that he got married to his cousin, Laurice, and they have a son, Joseph

adding there is nothing wrong or shameful about this marriage and they need to accept them and this marriage. And if they do he will send them to Lebanon in summer. Dated December 9, 1935, Kindia, Guinea.

تاريخ ٩ كانون الاول ١٩٣٥، كنديا. يستفسر نديم عن عدم استلامه رسائل من العائلة كما هو حال اخيه كروجر، وان كانوا غاضبين عليه او انكروا قرابته لهم. يخبرهم انه تزوج من ابنة عمه لوريس وانجبا ولدهم جوزيف، ولا يوجد خطأ او خجل من هذا الزواج، ولابد لهم ان يرضوا به. وان تم ذلك فسيرسلهم الى لبنان في الصيف.
