A few days ago I wrote a letter to your father and I thought you would receive the same. Since I did not receive an answer, I decided to write you. Perhaps you can not read my letter as I could not read yours. I had to have it translated. I hope you received my first letter from your father and know my condition. I correspond already with my cousin Carolina Heinze, in Amana. My family and I are very happy we found you after a 2 years' search. Dear Daniel, we have a very strong winter with a lot of ice and snow. But the last weeks it was warm. Trees & shrubs turned green and people were working in the gardens. Now it has turned cold again and it has been snowing for 24 hours uniterrupted. Prices rise steadily and we hardly know how to support a family. The dollar stands today at 372.9 marks. Therefore our mark is only 2 pennies' worth. 100 lbs. of potatoes, once 3 marks -- now 450.00 marks. 1 lb. of meat = 47.00 marks, 1 loaf of bread (6 lbs.) = 30 marks. Many factories are shut down because workers are striking. In Hörde, too, workers ask for more money and there might be violence. Last Sunday our second daughter had confirmation. It was quite a worry. It cost us 2000.00 marks, we are glad we overcame the burden. I believe Germany in its calamity will experience an economic collapse. This week we received from Carolina Heinze in Amana $10.00. We were very happy. Dear Daniel, I hope you received my letter from your father and hope this letter will find you in the best of health. Please respond soon, becaues I am glad to hear from you. With heartfelt greetings to you and your family and father, your cousin Wilhelm Dickel.

But sorry to say that Frederick Wilhelm Dickel is dead at Amana Iowa. But the letter got to his cousin Frederick George Dickel that lives 20 miles south of Amana Iowa and his address is Kalona Iowa and was located by the American Red Cross of New York for you. And he is the only one that is alive yet at this time and he had two brothers and one sister in Amana. There names was Daniel and George and Elizabeth Dickel. All four of those are of Horde in Westfalen Germany. But the two brothers that you was looking for are dead at Amana Ia. But some of Philipp Dickel children are living yet at Amana Iowa and we tell them about you so they can write to you also. But as near as we can find out Frederick Wilhelm Dickel had no children. </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> [page 2] My father name is Frederick and his father name was Frederick and they had five children, but one of those died in Germany, her name was Sophia and the other four came to America, all of those are dead but my father. My father was born January 3th 1838 and now is 84 years of age and is in poor health now. He came over in the year of 1868 he was the last one to come over here of that family. And his father Frederick died in 1846 or 1847, the time of his death is not known for sure. But if you will look in the old church book you may find in there about Frederick Dickel and his five children. Write us all about the Dickel relatives in Germany for we would like to hear from them all. I write all that I know about the Dickel relation in America. My father was very glad to hear from his relation in Germany again. My father has one boy and three girls. I hope you can read this letter or get some to read it for you for this is the only way I can write and </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> [page 3] my father is not able to write any more.

Hörde, 11/16/1921 Dear ones, From a distant homeland your living relatives send you heartfelt greetings. Our father, Ludwig Dickel, born in Berleburg in Westfalen, has been dead for 25 years. Also his brother, Philipp Dickel, died 14 years ago unmarried at Schwerte. We 3 brothers are yet the only ones from the Dickel line in Germany. When I was still a child, our father told us that two of his brothers had traveled to America, but that he had heard no more from them, because he left his home area and went to Hörde. I have learned through searching in the old church books, that the brothers of my father were named Johann Georg Dickel, born May 22, 1833 at Schüllar on the Stein near Berleburg and Frederich Wilhelm Dickel, born the 17th of January, 1830 at Wemlighausen near Berleburg. These 2 Dickels are probably living no more, but their children will hopefully receive this letter. We 3 brothers were born in Hörde and work in a large factory. Brother Ludwig is 52 years old and has 3 children. Brother August is 47 and has 5 children. I, Wilhelm Dickel am 40 and have also 5 children. It would please us if this letter reaches you and we receive an indication that you are alive, so that we see that of our Dickel family, relatives in America are still living. I request from you sincerely a rapid response and greet you while waiting. With German greetings, Your cousin, Wilhelm Dickel Hörde in Westfalen Steinkühlerweg A Straße 6 Germany Destination Defines the geographic location to which a given document was sent.

Frederick Wilhelm Dickel Description An account of the resource This November 1921 letter was sent by Wilhelm Dickel of Hörde, in Westphalia, to his uncle Frederick Wilhelm Dickel, who had immigrated to the United States as a young man and lived in Amana, Iowa. The letter, however, was eventually delivered to Frederick George Dickel, another member of the Dickel family, who had also immigrated from Germany to Iowa. Frederick George's son, Daniel Dickel, explained in a later letter (see <a href="https://germanletters.org/items/show/392">Daniel Dickel to Wilhelm Dickel, February 8, 1922</a>) that Frederick Wilhelm Dickel had died some time earlier.

Oettern, July 16th, 1907 My dear uncle! and all your loved ones, Dear uncle Ernest, I want you to know right at the beginning of this letter of mourning that our dear father fell asleep on the 11th [of the month?] and was buried on Saturday.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> Father himself described his illness to you not long ago, so I do not want to come back to that. His illness had worsened in the end, so that he decided on the advice of the doctors, for an operation. He had been home for three weeks as of last Friday from his operation at the Landkrankenhaus in Detmold. [new page] 2) I do not need to tell you that these three weeks have been anxious and difficult, and I believe you can imagine that as well; I can not write you anything more. But despite his recent heavy suffering, he still remembered [underline:] you [/ underline] and [underlined:] all of you [/ underline] in America. Some time before his death he said to me that I should greet Brother Ernst and the others all in America once again from him, and I would like to do this, to fulfill the wish of my dear father, and I ask you to share this with all the siblings. For his funeral, he had long before chosen the text of Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd” and the hymns “Jesus nimmt die Kinder an” and “Christus ist mein leben,” which were a comfort for him; but also for all of us who still live on earth. [new page] 3) Now dear Uncle, I would like to conclude this time with the warmest regards from all of us and one more time from the dear deceased. Yours, Heinrich Schlue [new page, death announcement] This morning at 11 o'clock, my dear husband, our good father, the farmer Heinrich Schlue, died in the 66th year of life after a long and difficult illness.
