The letter was written between Easter 19 April 1840, when M was apprenticed in Husum and 2 February 1845, the date of Iwanne's
death. The translation was inserted in the scrap-book between Iwanne's letters to M dated 8 October 1841 and 13 January 1842, and has been dated on that basis.
My dear Brother!
We are dressed up because Gretchen Peers announced that she was coming and the coachman
will take our letters. We cannot send the clothes to Husum without sending a few lines
with them.
Yesterday an entertainment was given by the Tyrol till 12 o'clock, 6 ladies danced.
Except the two Uncles
no one was there from us. Is it also like that in Husum?

Your Sister Iwanne.
P.S. Bertha has already a hat and sword like a cheese knife — Bertha is very glad.
She will write another time.
Iwanne.
