O bolloben te rackel tutt andre sawe kolester, kai me wium adre te me tshawa tiro rum shin andro meraben. MY DEAR WIFE, Before I came to Frankfort I went to Neustadt. On the way it did not go well with me. Our men quarrelled together. It was cold and wet weather. The children were ill. That house into which we had gone burnt down; our kid and the young calf run away.
It may be remarked as curious that the word meraben at the end of the letter, meaning death, is used by English Gipsies to signify life as well. "Dick at the gorgios, The gorgios round mandy; Trying to take my meripon, My meripon away." The third letter is also in the German-Gipsy dialect, and requires a little explanation.
