| Abstract | Scanned images of 11 letters written in the old German script, along with transliterations and translations. The letters date from as early as 1892 to 1902. Ten of the letters are from a son [Karl] in the military writing to his mother; he is anguished that the family is planning to immigrate to America. These are all written on stationary printed: Cuirassier-Regiment von Seydlitz (Magdeburg) Nr. 7, Halberstadt. The 1902 letter is written from Leeds and may be from Karl's mother; a Karl is mentioned who has injured his foot with a pitchfork. The family name of Kaestner is mentioned; this apparently is the name of Karl's cousins. |
