My dearest Kitty, The proverb 'Misfortunes never come singly' definitely applies to today. Peter just said so. Let me tell you all the awful things that have happened and that are still hanging over our heads.
First, Miep is ill, as a result of Henk and Aagje's wedding yesterday. She caught a cold in the Westerkerk, where the service was held. Second, Mr Kleiman hasn't returned to work since the last time his stomach started bleeding, so Bep's been left to hold the fort alone. Third, the police have arrested a man (whose name I won't put in writing). It's terrible not only for him, but for us as well, since he's been supplying us with potatoes, butter and jam. Mr M., as I'll call him, has five children under the age of thirteen, and another on the way.
