Marie was exiled with her relatives to Veranshehir, there she was taken by a Kurd to his house and in this way she was separated from her relatives. The Kurd kept her for eleven years. During the latest Kurdish events her possessor left Marie in his brother's house and crossing the Turkish frontier took refuge in the Syrian territory and then he established himself in Aleppo. Marie's one brother was living in Aleppo, he saw the Kurd in the market and recognized him, then he hurried to inform us about the matter. We asked the Kurd in the name of humanity to return Marie to her brother. The man partly persuaded and partly frightened wrote a letter to his brother and demanded the girl. Marie reached safely from Veranshehir to Aleppo. Her pale face brightened seeing her long-lost brother in our office.

Left our care: July 10, 1926. Relatives. Brother in Aleppo.
