Dear Parents, Sister and Brothers-in-law

I want to write you that we have sent pictures to you and want to write who should get them. Grandfather and gradmother should get the picture of Hedwig, Mina should get the three pictures of Fritz. If Rubygettel [godmother Ruby] and Lina Kern have postcards of the village and their houses, they shall send them, because I can't find mine. One of the children has them and I don't know who. So much about that.

Carl and Fritz still knew a lot [of the village]. It's white easter today and it has been cold for the last two weeks. We had a snow storm and we got winter for 5 months. We can't go into the fields for a long time, because there is a lot of water and mud. In February we had some warmer days, the snow was gone. Now it looks like in the middle of the winter again.

Dear old parents, how are you? Have you been by good health this winter, we think a lot of you and tell the children how old you are already. We always think that we are already old. We are already grandparents for a long time. Lydia's oldest child is already 12 years old by now. This time, I don't have much to write, so I will write a poem about [or from] the gradparents:

 [Here follows a long poem in German, which we have not translated.]

I hope that Kindelbergers or Friedly are not angry because they didn't get a picture. Fritz says that Julius Kern was his comrad and should have one.
