A post card from Astuti A. Toer, pak Pram's daughter,
with an official stamp of "Has Passed Official Screening" on it.

Every letter for the Buru political prisoners must passed the official censor's screening.
Most of them never received their items.

Translation:

To Father,

Pramudya Ananta Toer
Unit III, Wanajasa,
Picture number:641
d/a (addressed to)
Laksus Pangkopkamtib Maluku (local military authorities)
in Amboina.

Beloved Father,

How are you? Titik always prays so you are in good health.
Father, how is the condition there? Is the weather nice?

Here, we are all healthy and plump. You too, Father, must be healthy; If you are unhealthy, you can not go to the field, and the harvest won't be enough for you to eat.

Send Titik's regard to uncle Prawit.

Hugs and kisses for my beloved Father.

Received your letter 8/16/72.

Your daughter,
Astuti A. Toer.
