Accession Number:\u00a0<\/strong>2022.02.8.2<\/span>4<\/span><\/p>\n

Stamp:\u00a0<\/strong>6 <\/span>Winterhilfswerk<\/span> Deutches<\/span> Reich<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Postmark: <\/strong>“M<\/span>\u00fc<\/span>nchen” and “Bahnpo” can be read, which likely stands for “Bahnofspostamt” (Railway Post Office). There is also the text “Zug 18” that indicates it was processed on a specific train.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Front:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The address reads “Celfen-Berlin” as well as the word “S\u00e4gewerk” (sawmill) suggests a potential business or location in Berlin. The handwriting itself and its’ details of recipient and address is difficult to decipher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The letter is dated to be from Rosenheim, Germany, 1938, and is a personal correspondence. It was written in pencil that as since faded over the decades, making the writing partially illegible. However, the gist of the text written on the back can be identified for the most part.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The letter mentions a greeting to \u201cK\u00e4the\u201d and discusses a house being built or purchased (\u201cwat Haus gegoldgen en ist adorng\u201d). It references a trip to Prutting by train and notes that it rained, expressing regret (\u201cSchade as hat geregent.\u201d). The author mentions receiving a package and having spoken with someone named Gonnet on the phone. The letter then concludes with personal remarks about the author\u2019s mother and a daily routine involving what looks to be the words \u201cBaggi\u201d and \u201cWarer.\u201d <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
