| Abstract | These documents primarily concern Liselotte (Schlote) Wolter and her husband Jürgen Reimer Wolter. Older letters are between Liselotte Schlote and her father. Both Schlote and Wolter families lived in Hamburg before Reimer and Liselotte were married; Reimer and Liselotte moved to Michigan, where he studied pathology around 1953. They returned to Germany, and then came back to Michigan, where Reimer worked at the University of Michigan as an ophthalmologic and neurologic pathologist. The Wolter Family Letters collection includes correspondence, business documents, government documents, birth and death notices, wartime (WWII) correspondence, holiday and travel cards, letters and drawings by children, conference materials, newspaper articles, and reprints of articles in the field of ophthalmology. |
