The author of the following letter, Franciszka Dul, was probably arrested and sent to a labor camp after the Red Army invasion of Poland in 1939. The envelope records her address in the Akmolinsk oblast in Kazakhstan (Map 1), the site of many penal camps for women. She writes to her husband, in care of the Anders Army, the Polish army in the USSR. This letter was found in the archives of the army, which contain, scattered in different boxes, at least four others that she wrote to him. We must assume that he never received them. In another of her letters, written on a page torn from a book in the Kazakh language, Dul laments, “I have already sent you 15 letters and received none from you.”2
