Dear Mrs Häfner and Miss Trudel,
We wanted to tell you that we are not going to spend this evening here with you, but allow us to visit by you. We will bring our coffee, sugar, milk and dinner. But you did not say if Martin has come? Or would you like to surprise us? But write to us before. So that the “loving pair” first can enjoy the evening alone for a while. Enough said With kind regards Hedwig and Minna

Merry Christmas

Dear Klara and Little Trudi
How long I wanted to write to you. Are you two healthy? Was your Martin there, how is your soap business? Is there is also not much going on with the soap? Wilhem had given me one small sample, it is a tragedy that everything [business] is dying. Will you come as well to Chemnitz? Wishes you healthy Holidays will soon write again Greetings to you, Hedwig.

Blessed Christmas

My Dear Boy,

Thank you very much for your heartfelt letter and I’ll answer immediately. Don’t worry about the ring, just forget it. Trust in God, he will do it. He brought you both after some years together again, and that’s why I think he will not divide you both again. Don’t be sad and don’t worry, I want to see and hold in my arms your child a boy like this on the postcard, it looks more like a girl, or not? Look, I was years ago also superstitious, an I am still a little bit, but God taught me. We worry too much about unimportant things , for instance I can remember a dream , it’s 23 years ago, I was pregnant, it was the 8th month and I thought he will die, I can’t forget that. And at the New Years night of the first year we’ve had the war all my clock’s stopped to work and nothing bad happened. My dear Martin hope to see you soon in good health!
