⇧ My dear Wilhelm, 1

With this postcard, we are sending you the first greetings from the Tyrol. A heavy snowfall greeted us here. Now it is turning more like summer. We really need the recuperation, especially LieLiechen, who is completely exhausted. Lately, my eyes are bothering me. This much as an introduction.


Kisses from us both,
Your
