(25 Oct 1858 - 8 Dec 1929)
Sachingen 6 May 1913 Dear Sister and Sister-in-law;
After long years we have finally heard from you again. It made us very happy especially that everything is well with you. We are well too and have work and an income so we can make it.
We are getting along alright too. We have our work and our income and are getting by.
We are soon alone again, Maria and I because our children are almost all of them gone but the youngest. The oldest, Ernest, is in Mannheim, a printer. Walter is a painter in Luzern, Werner is learning the carpenter trade here. Maria will be married in two months, Arnold, the youngest works with me at the factory.
We occasionally go to Switzerland to visit our relatives and friends in Zofingen and Streugelbach. You probably already know that my parents died and also Bühlers. Your father is still living and is in Ratheimeustdal, another translation shows (Rathreinental)Thurgau. (Charles) Karl is in Basel and does well there, but he has asthma. Sometimes he has to miss work and stay home. Our Amalie we only know that she is married to a Salvation Army soldier and livbes in Kauten, Zurich. We can't say exactly because she never writes. We and Müllers in Richterswil keep in close touch with each other. Mullers do well if it wasn't for Elise's leg giving her so much trouble, espcailly when it's bad weather. Then she has so much pain that she can hardly walk.
In Zasingen and Langeburg, so much has changed so that you would not be able to find your way. The factory burned and a new one has been built. But Dock Kase Ziger (cheese), you can still get in Switzerland. (Another translation: - Many changes have been brought about in Zofingen and Augsburg, since you left, so that you would have quite a time finding your way around. The Mata factory burned down and a new one has been erected in its stead. But "Ziger" cheese is still to be hand in Swtizerland.)
Will close now with news. Mabye Maria will be something.
