Transskription
Sonja My Beloved,
Thanks a million times for the little word and the fresh little leaf you left for me. I was just going to bed when I ‘discovered’ it and how it relieved me Sonja, I cannot tell you – I did not know how I would miss you till when you had to go. I got strained to a point I did not expect because I had been determined to be calm and to contain myself I came nearly to breaking down.
Do not be troubled, my dear, we have to be strong silent and calm at this time – the greatest in our lives. I was very glad to see so much greatness in you. So much human feeling and dignity. you made me filled of gladness and courage
I have confidence and determination for the future of the little one and for a greater mother it will never find than my beloved Sonja
I embrace you
Your Ernest.

Ernest Mancoba refererer til "the little one" og Sonja Ferlov Mancobas moderskab, så enten er hun gravid eller parret er lige blevet forældre. Sandsynligvis er hun gravid, da Ernest Mancoba refererer til et barn, fremfor en søn. Wonga Mancoba blev født 6.6.1946.
