We have received your dear letter of April 29th and are all deeply saddened to hear that you are not quite well lately. Mama is especially worried that you are with strangers and not with your children, who are obliged to take care of their parents in their old days. You would reassure Mama very much if you wrote [new page] more about it, namely how your children are doing and why you are not with one of them. We hope, by the way, that it is not too bad and that you will get well with good care. Mama would have liked to have written to you herself, but she also has a lot to do with headaches that sometimes make writing impossible for her. Mama was very happy that your daughter Lizzie got married and [new page] we all wish you happiness with all your heart. In order to be able to tell you something about Winkler, Mama asked Hanau, and learned that Winkler died suddenly two and a half years ago. About Miss Sauer, Mama could not find out anything more. As you may already know, she is a widow, and no longer lives in her parents' house, but she is doing quite well. Many things have changed in Hanau, so that you would hardly find your way [new page] around. It is much bigger and more beautiful now. Now it is 300 years that the new town was founded. There will be a big celebration to mark the occasion. On the day after Pentecost there will be a big pageant, greater than anything you have ever seen here. I will have some newspapers picked up and send them to you. Recently, the Grimm Monument has been revealed, from which I will send you a picture in the near future. Mama regrets [new page] that the news from Uncle Fritz is no better. We haven't heard from him for a long time. If you write to Uncle Fritz, send him many greetings from all of us. He should also write one day something Mama has been looking forward to in vain for a long time. With us so far everything goes quite well. Except for our dear mother, who is sometimes plagued by headaches, we are all healthy and that is the main thing or the best wealth. [new page] I have now finished my apprenticeship and am quite satisfied with my job. But my most fervent wish is to go abroad soon and see as much of the world as possible. Mama isn't so happy about it, though. I would be especially happy if I would be allowed to visit you some day and get to know you personally, of whom Mama tells us so much good things. Hopefully it will be possible for me one day, because when one is young, one hopes for everything. [new page] For today I want to close dear uncle. We all wish you to get well soon and send you our warmest greetings and kisses. Especially greets you in the name of my mother, your nephew Carl Hirtes P.S.

April haben wir erhalten und sind alle tief betrübt hören zu müssen, dass Du in der letzten Zeit nicht ganz wohl bist. Besonders macht sich Mama vielen Kummer, das du bei fremden Leuten bist und nicht bei deinen Kindern, die doch zunächst verpflichtet sind die Eltern in ihren alten Tagen zu pflegen. Du würdest Mama sehr beruhigen, wenn du [sheet 1, page 2] einmal näheres darüber schreiben würdest, namentlich wie es deinen Kindern geht und warum du nicht bei einem derselben bist. Wir hoffen übrigens, [insertion:] dass es [/insertion] nicht allzu schlimm ist und dass du bei guter Pflege wieder ganz gesund wirst.

Um Dir von Winkler etwas mitteilen zu können hat sich Mama in Hanau erkundigen lassen, und in Erfahrung gebracht, daß Winkler schon vor 2 1/4 Jahren plötzlich gestorben ist. Von Frau [?] Sauer [/?] konnte Mama nichts Näheres erfahren. Dieselbe ist wie Du vielleicht schon weißt Wittwe, sie lebt nicht mehr in ihrem Elternhaus, doch geht es ihr recht gut. In Hanau hat sich vieles verändert, so daß Du Dich kaum noch zurecht finden [sheet 2, page 4] würdest. Es ist jetzt viel größer und schöner.

Offenbach am Main, 11th November 1901 My dear Uncle, As we haven't heard from you for a long time, Mama has instructed me to write you a few lines. You are sure to have received my last letter. Mama always intends to write to you and is unhappy that she never gets round to it. Mama finds writing difficult and needs a lot of time for it. She is always short of time since she became a grandmother. In January of this year my sister Gretchen had a gorgeous baby boy, who is developing well and brings only much joy to us all. The lad makes a lot of work and Grandmother is hard at work from morning till evening, so doesn't think about writing. Furthermore, Mama has a lot of headaches and back pain, which often force her to stay in bed. Mama asks therefore that you excuse her, and I am happy to write to you on her behalf, what she herself would wish to write from her heart. Above all, she is always concerned about how you are. Dear Uncle, she asks that you write to her [new page] really soon. We all hope that everything is going very well for you and your family, but we would like to know for certain. We have also heard nothing from Uncle Fritz, which often makes mama very sad. Last year Frau Buhl, Uncle Fritz's sister- in- law, was here and promised to prompt Uncle Fritz to write to Mama but we still have had no news. You will be able to imagine, that Mama is therefore often upset. If Mama could do what she wished, a long letter would have by now been sent off to you. But as I already wrote, it is much too difficult for her. Once again, dear Uncle, I ask you to write to us. Everyone here is in good health. There is nothing particularly interesting to report. Businesses here are doing very badly. Due to these miserable villains, the English, who paralyze trade and commerce through the war of robbery they imposed on the small but brave Boer people. You also are sure to read the reports about this war. The reports from the theatre of war are read here with enthusiasm and each Boer success is greeted with jubilation. Have you read the speech of the Colonial Minister, Chamberlain? The noble, or rather wretched fellow dares to make a comparison [new page] between the war of 1870/71 and the Transvaal war of robbery. He places the English band of robbers on a par with the German militia army which, as can be seen from the following newspaper clipping, is praised even by French writers who have no affection for Germany. In many German towns party meetings are being held against this vile slander. It is really good for Mr Chamberlain that he does not have to come to Germany for any reason. I think the fellow would be stoned. The assassination of President MacKinley has generated sincere concern everywhere here. It is really dreadful that there are still people who believe that they can achieve something through the assassination of a head of state. But the Americans have also been too lenient towards these crazy anarchists. In my view, everyone who openly confesses to be an anarchist should be brought somewhere and guarded, so that he can pose no danger to human life. Dear Uncle, I will close for today. I hope to hear from you very soon, and maybe also from Uncle Fritz. I'd love that very much for Mama. Then I will [new page] write more to you. For today I send you and yours all best wishes on behalf of my parents and brothers and sisters. I too send you warmest wishes and hope to have news from you very soon.

Germany Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Offenbach a/M d. 11 Novbr 1901 Mein lieber Onkel! Da wir seit langer Zeit nichts von dir gehört haben, beauftragte mich Mama dir ein paar Zeilen zu schreiben. Meinen letzten Brief wirst du wohl erhalten haben. Mama nimmt sich immer vor dir zu schreiben und ist ganz unglücklich, daß sie nicht dazu kommt. Das Schreiben fällt Mama sehr schwer & sie bruacht sehr viel Zeit dazu. An Zeit aber fehlt es ihr immer, seitdem Sie Großmutter geworden ist. Im Januar des Jahres ist nämlich bei meiner Schwester Gretchen ein prachtvoller Junge angekommen, der sich sehr gut entwickelt und nur allen sehr viel Freude macht. Der Bub macht aber auch viel Arbeit & Großmutter ist von Morgens bis Abends angestrengt tätig, so daß an Schreiben nicht zu denken ist. Außerdem hat Mama viel Kopf- & Rückenschmerzen, die sie oft zwingen das Bett zu hüten. Mama bittet dich deshalb, sie zu entschuldigen, und ich übernehme es gerne dir in ihrem Namen zu schreiben, was sie von Herzen gerne selbst schreiben möchte. Vor allen Dingen ist sie immer in Sorge wie es Euch geht. Sie läßt dich, lieber Onkel, bitten ihr doch recht [new page] bald zu schreiben. Wir hoffen ja alle, daß es dir und den deinen recht gut geht, aber man möchte doch auch gerne Gewißheit haben. Onkel Fritz läßt auch gar nichts hören, sodaß Mama oft sehr traurig ist. Im vorigen Jahre war Frau Buhl, die Schwägerin von Onkel Fritz hier und versprach Onkel Fritz zu veranlassen, an Mama zu schreiben aber bis heute haben wir noch keine Nachricht. Du wirst dir denken können, daß Mama deshalb oft verstimmt ist. Wenn Mama könnte wie sie wollte, so wäre schon längst ein langer Brief an Euch abgegangen. Aber wie ich dir schon schrieb, fällt es ihr gar zu schwer. Ich bitte dich deshalb nochmals, lieber Onkel, doch recht bald etwas von dir hören zu lassen. Bei uns ist soweit ja alles gesund. Neuigkeiten von besonderem Interesse weiß ich nicht zu berichten. Die Geschäfte gehen hier sehr schlecht. Daran sind nur diese elenden Schurken die Engländer die durch den Raubkrieg, den sie dem kleinen aber tapferen Burenvölkchen aufgezwungen haben, den Handel & Verkehr lähmen. Die Berichte über diesen Krieg wirst du ja auch lesen. Hier werden die Nachrichten vom Kreigsschauplatz mit Eifer gelesen, und jeder Erfolg der Buren wird mit Jubel begrüßt. Hast du die Rede des englischen Colonialministers Chamberlain gelesen. Die edle oder vielmehr elende Kerl wagt es, einen Vergleich zu ziehen [new page] zwischen dem Krieg von 1870/71 u. den Transvaal Raubkrieg. Er stellt die englischen Räuberbanden auf eine Stufe mit dem deutschen Volksheer, das, wie aus beifolgendem Zeitungsausschnitt hervorgeht selbst von französischen Schriftstellern, die keine Zuneigung Deutschland haben gelobt wird. In vielen Städten Deutschlands werden Parteiversammlungen gegen diese niederträchtige Verleumdung abgehalten. Es ist wahrhaftig gut für Herrn Chamberlain, der er nicht aus irgendeinem Grund einmal nach Deutschland kommen muß. Ich glaube der Kerl würde gesteinigt. Die Ermordung des Präsidenten MacKinley hat hier überall aufrichtige Teilnahme hervorgerufen. Es ist auch wirklich schrecklich, daß es immer noch Menschen gibt, die glauben, durch die Ermordung eines Staatsoberhauptes etwas erreichen zu können. Aber die Amerikaner sind auch zu nachsichtig gewesen gegen diese wahnsinnigen Anarchisten. Meiner Meinung nach sollte man jeden der sich offfen als Anarchist bekennt, an einen Ort bringen & so bewachen, daß er keinem Menschenleben gefährlich werden kann. Mein lieber Onkel! Ich will für heute schließen. Ich hoffe recht bald etwas von dir, vielleicht auch von Onkel Fritz zu hören. Es wäre mir dies für Mama sehr lieb. Ich werde dir dann noch mehr [new page] schreiben. Für heute sende ich die im Namen meiner Eltern & Geschwister die allerherzlichsten Grüße an dich & deine Angehörigen. Auch ich grüße dich aufs herzlichste und verbleibe in der Hoffnung recht bald eine Nachricht von dir zu bekommen Dein Neffe Carl Hirtes 1900-1909 English available transcribed https://germanletters.org/files/original/e2a058c2a39cb5319c0060bb1a430bd1.jpg 2d26717d5eccec55aa35a21d1b0099c1 Scripto Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Offenbach 10 June 1900 My dear brother Georg! It has been a long time since we received your dear letter, but unfortunately we haven't answered you yet. How often have I made up my mind that I would write today and then something came that did not let me come to write again. The letter writing is very difficult for me, because my head is always very affected. I was very pleased, dear Georg, that your health as well as your situation have changed for the better and that you can [new page] look ahead into the future without worries, God willing, that you may enjoy good health for a long time to come. Unfortunately I read in your lines about our brother Fritz that he (if I understand correctly) is not at his best, but I should be terribly sorry. I do not understand it actually, Fritz was nevertheless always very careful. Where are the sons, I believed them with Fritz in the business? Hopefully they will not let their father down. Please tell me more about Fritz in your next letter. If you write to him so greet him warmly that he may also remember his sister and send her a few lines, even if there are only a few, it would please me so much. I don’t have an address of Fritz's, enclose it next time. With us, dear Georg, it goes well so far. Thank God we are healthy until now, and I count this for the greatest happiness. Heinrich is very busy in business, but it gives him a lot of pleasure. Since the death of our sister and brother-in-law, the business has expanded significantly. It is a great factory. Gretchen has been married since 14 January. We had a lot of visitors, work and high costs. She lives very close by. Now we are glad that everything [new page] is over and Gretchen is happy. Karl had finished his service year in October 1899, but was called back for 8 months in April 1900. 8 days ago he was dismissed as vice sergeant of the reserve. We were very happy when he surprised us with his saber. He will write to you soon. Helene is still at home. She is very efficient in everything in the household as well as with all handicrafts. It would be hard for me if I had to do without her. Hopefully I can keep her for some time. One also gets older and sometimes very needy of rest. How are your children, [new page] hopefully all of them are fine. Greet them warmly from us. I haven't been to Hanau for a long time, I don't think you would be able to find your way anymore. It has colossally enlarged and embellished itself, I've also become almost completely estranged. Oh so many friends and acquaintances are already dead and this touches me always terribly, therefore I go very rarely to Hanau. I recently spoke to Pierre Kogler here, he is still very active in the business. He sends his best regards. Wednesday is the 13th of June and the children have here a nice circle of acquaintances and we'll go to celebrate the lantern festival [new page] in the Offenbach forest at the Kaiser Friedrich Spring. A wonderful place. In winter I'm always looking forward to the time when you can go into the beautiful forest again. Now dear Georg, I would like to ask you to write more often. I promise you not to let you wait so long. As already said Karl will write to you soon. So God protect you and stay healthy. This wishes from the bottom of my heart Your sister Marie From Heinrich and the children I send you the warmest greetings.

Es ist schon geraume Zeit daß wir deinen lieben Brief erhalten, aber leider dir biß heute noch nicht geantwortet wie oft habe ich mir vorgenommen heute schreibe ich bestimmt doch kam gewiß etwas was mich wieder nicht zum schreiben kommen ließ, das Briefe schreiben fällt mir ja sehr schwer, indem mein Kopf immer sehr angegriffen ist. Wie sehr lieber Georg habe ich mich gefreut daß sich deine Gesundheit sowie Verhältnisse zum Guten gewendet haben u. du doch Sorgenfrei in die [new page] Zukunft blicken kannst wollte Gott daß du es Gesund noch lange genießen mögest. Leider lese ich in deinen Zeilen von unserem Bruder Fritz daß es ihm (wenn ich recht verstehe) nicht zum besten geht, dieß sollte mir doch furchtbar leid thun ich begreife es eigendlich nicht Fritz war doch immer sehr vorsichtig wo sind denn die Söhne ich glaubte dieselben bei Fritz im Geschäft hoffendlich werden sie ihren Vater nicht im Stich lassen, bitte bei deinem nächsten schreiben mir doch ausführliches von Fritz zu berichten, schreibst du an ihn so grüße ihn herzlichst er möge seiner Schwester auch noch einmal gedenken und ihr ein par Zeilen zu kommen lassen, wenn [new page] es auch nur wenige sind es würde mich doch so sehr erfreuen. Adresse habe ich keine von Fritz lege sie mir nächstens bei. Bei uns lieber Georg geht es ja soweit gut wir sind Gott sei Dank Gesund biß jetzt u. dieß rechne ich fürs gröste Glück Heinrich ist im Geschäft sehr in Anspruch genommen es macht ihm aber sehr viel Freude, seid dem Tod unserer Schwester & Schwagers hat sich das Geschäft ganz bedeutend noch vergrößert es ist eine grosartige Fabrik. Gretchen ist seid dem 14 Januar verheiratet da hatten wir sehr viel Verkehr, Arbeit u. schwere Kosten gehabt, sie wohnt ganz in der Nähe, nun sind wir froh daß alles so weit [new page] vorüber ist u. Gretchen zufrieden ist. Karl hatte im October 1899 sein Jahr abgedient, wurde nun aber im April 1900 schon wieder auf 8 Monate einberufen, vor 8 Tagen wurde er als Vizefeldwebel der Reserve entlassen, wir haben uns sehr gefreut als er uns mit dem Säbel überraschte. er wird dir demnächst auch einmal schreiben. Helene ist noch zu Hause ist in allem sehr tüchtig im Haushalt sowie aller Handarbeit es käme mir hart an, wenn ich sie enbehren müßte hoffendlich kann ich sie noch einige Zeit behalten, man wird eben auch Älter u. zuweilen der Ruhe sehr bedürftig. Wie geht es bei deinen Kindern, hoffendlich [new page] bei Allen gut grüße sie herzlichst von uns. In Hanau war ich schon lange nicht, ich glaube du würdest dich nicht mehr zurecht finden es hat sich kollosal vergrößert u. verschönert, ich bin auch fast vollständig Fremd geworden, ach so viele Freunde u. Bekannte alles Tod und dieß berührt mich immer furchtbar, gehe deßhalb auch sehr selten nach Hanau. Piere Kogler habe ich unlängst hier gesprochen er ist noch sehr thätig im Geschäft er läßt Dich herzlichst Grüßen Mittwoch haben wir 13 Juni die Kinder haben hir einen schönen Bekanntenkreis u. da feiern wir das Lampoifest im [new page] Offenbacher Wald an Kaiser Friedrich Quell ein herrliches Plätzchen, da freue ich schon immer im Winter auf die Zeit wo man wieder in den schönen Wald gehen kann. Nun lieber Georg möchte ich Dich bitten doch öfter einmal zu schreiben ich verspreche Dir, Dich auch nicht mehr so lange warten zu lassen, wie schon bemerkt wird Dir Karl auch in der Kürze mal schreiben. So behüt Dich Gott u. bleibe Gesund dieß wünscht von ganzem Herzen Deine Schwester Marie Von Heinrich und den Kindern richte Dir die herzlichsten Grüße aus. 1900-1909 English available transcribed https://germanletters.org/files/original/0a777ef63b8ca51a86b5e7901a19648e.jpg 9fa863294881a625485bd0d8dc916e3f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
