Information report of the State Security Operational Worker, Teki Hysi, regarding the letter that Tuk Jakova’s wife, Mita, sends to her sister, Dhora Leka, who is interned in the city of Gjirokastra
I N F O R M A C I O N
Excerpted from Mita Jakova’s letter, sent to Dhora Lekë in Gjirokastra
Very dear Dhora
I’m sitting down to write to you, not knowing what to write to you. As soon as I found out that you have been in Gjirokastra for several days, I am so desperate that I was in the first days when we came to Berat. But even more so. I, after all, was not alone here. I have Tuk and the children, who have become my dearest people and that especially the children, in moments of despair, just looking at them, have made me stronger and not leave room for them, to understand the different moments that I have passed.
This was imposed on me by my duties as a mother. The passage of time, and my duty as a teacher, have made me not feel like an empty life. I feel that with the strength I have, I will serve as a citizen and that is why, despite all the difficult conditions I have, alone, I can fix the children, the house, lunch, dinner, wash, shopping, etc.
D.m.th., in addition to the family duty, to perform the duty to the state and in addition to these, I applied to enroll in the Faculty of Literature, by correspondence. I have confidence in my strength that evens this difficult task, I will perform with honor. Doesn’t this show that I do not feel disconnected from life, society and its demands?
But today I am upset for you, for the mother. I think only of you in Gjirokastra, where you have never been, where you do not know anyone, you are in the first days, which are always more difficult. I do not know anything about Cesc, these are not few. I think the mother, who who knows how much she is desperate, is left alone and none of us are near, to hold her with courage, even though she is strong, every time I have heard from her, such words that have made a huge impact on me.
With all this, I still think that things should not be viewed with pessimism, time will pass, you will get used to it, that even there you are in your homeland, that even there you have friends, you will find satisfaction at work, give your contribution everywhere. I know you well Dhora, as you know me and you, I have confidence in myself that you will not let yourself be covered by despair, as for the mother, she will have Petro, Efigenia and Mir, next, who will to get rid of boredom.
I try that when I have a break, from August 15-21; I either see it for myself or call it here. Gjirokastra is a little far from here, if the opportunity arises, I will come to see you someday, I do not know if you will be happy?
I do not know what you have done with the house and the belongings, how you and your mother are financially. I will try to see you both with the conditions I have. The children are fine. Always remember. Now that I miss them, they have nowhere to see Aunt Dhori, because she is no longer in Tirana, where they left with such great joy.
It is difficult for children to come to Gjirokastra to see you. But you know how much they love you, so do not stay without ever coming to us. Tuku is fine. Continues to work in Carpentry. I’m not in bad health. You do not bother.
Let us all embrace. Write me. Memorie.al
