Hi Marlene,
This one is bugging me a bit
I keep going back and looking at the letter, and this morning I have discovered something. Probably won't help, but whatever.
I wrote yesterday that I thought it said:
As you say, the punctuation is a bit lacking. I think that there should be a full stop after "Mann" (husband), and that the next bit is
Schreibt uns die Adresse von B.H., will an Ihr auch schreiben,
(Send us B.H.'s address, I want to write to her, too.)
I couldn't read the name, but Peonie had suggested Brüyer Heinrich.
I am not really very happy with "Brüyer".
The third letter is definitely "ü", but if the Preuß name 2 lines higher is indeed Klara, then then the first letter of the mystery name could also be a "K". Also, looking at "baldige" in the last line (of the first scan), I think the 4th letter in the mystery name could be a "g".
Krüger(?)
It was/is not unusual to state names with the surname first, so it could theoretically be Heinrich Krüger.
What throws a spanner in the works there is the "will an Ihr auch schreiben". If that is what it says. Because that is "I want to write to her, too." Unless he was writing quickly and not really thinking, and wanted to write "Ihn"...
Hmmm...
As for swapping the weather: We had months without rain last summer. We don't need a heatwave again! But minus 10 is a bit much for little Essex girls. How about we mix the 2 and come up with some comfortably warm weather?!
(It's actually pretty good to have a cold snap - kills off a lot of the bugs. And I have to admit that it was lovely outside this morning - had a really long walkies with our woofer in the sunshine. Well wrapped-up, of course. Woman and dog.
)
Best regards,
Karen
P.S. In the newspaper cutting, there are siblings mentioned in Germany. Have you tried contacting anyone over here? Jünkel is a fairly rare name...
