LETTER INTERCEPTED BY CAMP SMERSH BRANCH. APPROPRIATE CHANGES MADE.
February, 1951
To: Yulia Denisovich
From: Ivan Denisovich Shcha - 854
[CAMP LOCATION REDACTED]
Dear Yulia,
I apologize that it has been such a long time since I last sent you a letter. I have been busy working in the [REDACTED] along with my comrades [REDACTED]. We are often tired, but we try to make the best of what we have here at [REDACTED]. Today we had a slight variation on our typical morning stew. As usual, the cook made our oatmeal gruel, but today he added a small lump of meat for flavor. I’m not sure what sort of meat it was, but it made eating the slop more bearable. I am now used to the hunger that comes with not receiving home cooked meals. Others in the camp have not fared as well. I hope that I will soon be able to leave this camp and return home to you and the rest of the family.
Your Husband,
Ivan Shcha - 854
