Dear sister and brother-in-law,

We received your short letter and we are so sorry that it’s not going well for you all. It will get better once again with God’s help. It’s going the same with us. Dear sister, I have to share with you that Aunt Mathilde in Brotterrode has died. I will also write to Auntie, since she has a little girl. Well, I’ll close now and so send greetings. Heartfelt greetings from brother Gustav, Luise
