Too start with too let you know how I am. Beloved, Brother-in-Law, and Brother, and also Mother-in-Law that we are, thank God so far healthy and alive yet. That we from God the Father wish you. Want too tell you further how the weather is, there hasen’t been a strong frost yet after three weeks there was frost 8 days that we couldn’t move good. But then it got nicer. Want too let you know about the Grain Prices. By us everthing is so expensive.

These prices are all figured in Russian money. Further no much more to talk about the crop. We want to ask you if Karl Maser still alive is, We have wrote him twice and he hasn’t wrote back. Also haven’t heard from Krieger, or from Ofsoger. Evidently they must have died already.
