A letter written in pencil by Aleksander to his brother Peeter Wiljandi, 5 December Dear brother! I congratulate you on the occasion of your 50th birthday and wish you much, much happiness and joy in your family’s company. Celebrate this day, and know that the day you turn 50 is the most important one of your life. Up to now, you have been toiling up the hill with all your strength in order to reach your life’s goals more quickly. Now begins your path down the hill, which should be much smoother and easier on your life’s journey, for you have people to cheer you and assist you, you have a family you have a child, etc. But this is not so, brother, now comes the most difficult period in your life.
