Serpouhies' father was taken to the Turkish army in the beginning of the deportation. She was exiled with her mother, two brothers and two sisters to Ras-el-Ain, where a Turk from Mardin took her to his house, where she remained 3 years.
Later she was married and lived 6 years with her husband. Her brother was in Aleppo. He sent many letters, even his photo, but the muleteers did not give it to her.
Finally she heard from our agent that her brother was alive and she was looking for a chance to flee. One day her husband went to a village in business. Serpouhie paid a muleteer, who took her to Ras-el-Ain by night. From there she was sent to us with her baby at March 20.
Left our care: 18/7.25. Selfsupp, Servant, Relatives.
