Dear Clara and Trudel,

I hope that both of you are fine. Could you bring on Saturday the mannequin with you we need her here for the skirt or is it too heavy for you to carry it? Do you need her? Talk to you soon.

Dearest regards from Hedwig and Minna

Dear Mother,

If you receive in the future a postcard sent from the Berlin war federation please keep it. I’ll be soon again in Dresden than I’ll explain why you have to keep it. Don’t lose the postcard, you’ll receive every month one of them. Dear mother did you send the cardigan?  I’d like to wear it on top of my blouse it covers it a little bit. Dearest regards for now and kisses from your Rosa and son and parents Many kisses to Trude and Martin. I was very sick too some time ago.

Dear Clara and Little Trude,

We received your card. We meant to write back soon, but these days there is always something else that we must contend with. We haven’t gotten around to go into the old boxes. Next week we will get it all out. We don’t have time to go swimming. [?] Trudel may get along well with her father but she should not abandon her mother. She can go with you also dear Clara.

Keep well

Regards from Hedwig and Minna

The Schwabian Railroad. Card I.

This text is an excerpt from a longer poem.

Here is a translation from the longer poem:

Swabian Railroad Transportation
Stops at many a strange location
Shtoogert, Oolm and Beeberoch
Meckaboira, Doorlesboch.

On the Swabian iron horse
A farmer wants to ride, of course
Went to the counter, tipped his hat
Ticket please, and that is that

He had bought a goat that day
And so it wouldn’t run away
He tied it to the train’s caboose
With a strong and sturdy noose

Now, my goat, run straight ahead
When we stop you will be fed
Farmer said and lit his pipe,
Sitting down next to his wife

At a whistlestop he found
Only goat’s head dangling, bound
To the hook at train’s rear end
This was not what he has meant

Anger now grew in our peasant
Using words lots less than pleasant
Flung the head, what daring deed
Right before conductor’s feet

That’s the ballad, as you see
Of a tragic odyssey
Of a goat, a Swabian train,
A farmer cursing all in vain

Dear Clara and Trudel,

It’s long time ago that we’ve heard from each other, our father has asked about you many times why aren’t you coming we have time until the 30th. We can’t leave at the evening because the soldier is here for dinner. I think you don’t have much time? At Saturday we are not at home until 5pm we will be at the graveyard and on Sunday we have a lot of laundry to do but otherwise we are free. You don’t miss us a little bit? Will Martin come soon? We hope you are in good health. Dearest regards from Hedwig and Minna
