Cathrinhagen, 6.3.07 Dear Uncle and Aunt, Have had the urge to write to you forever. But so far I've had no time. Now I am at home from February 1 till April 1. I was in Hannover and learned how to cook there. My last stay was in Hameln where I did not have a good employment, I was there for 4 months. I don't know where I will work next. Now I regret that I did not go with you. If only Father and Mother wanted to [new page] I would already be there. I think that some time you want to come to Germany again. When we remember the time we all went on the roundabout, that still makes us all happy. Here we had quite a winter with much frost and snow. But now the sun is already shining, nice and warm. Until now we have still had night frosts. Dear Uncle, you might want to write to Father [new page] what your birds are up to. During those 6 years that you have been gone again, much has changed here already. Father and Mother are also now getting old already and weak. Father has turned 61 and Mother will be 52. My sisters, brother-in-law and brothers are all still in good health as well. I hope that all of you together are still rather well, dear Uncle and dear Aunt. Now I must [new page] tell you something quite new. But you mustn't hold it against me. For Christmas I had asked you for a new ladies' watch. But my joy was in vain. Now I just have to write it to you again. I am now a cook so I need to own a watch, don't I? I thought that my aunt had sent me one, but obviously she has already forgotten me completely. [new page] There is no more news that I can tell you this time around.

Wilhelm Dickel Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. <div class="mw-parser-output"> Kalona Iowa February-8-1922 Dear Friend: - My Father received a letter from you and it was addressed for Frederick Wilhelm Dickel and he was very glad to hear from you. 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. I will close for this time hoping to hear from you soon and we will answer you again. And we as four children would like to hear more from Germany.

I have some sad news for you, that my dear father passed away following a heart attack. He had looked bad the day before, I still said that morning I must have a look to see what Father is doing, whether he is going to be really ill. Because we had our harvest festival planned for October 6 + 7. As I entered the bedroom, I said Father, what did..., but he was already dead. Now you can surely imagine what a scare that was for me to find him dead in his bedroom. [new page] We did not hold the harvest festival. Uncle Grund. Meier Ferdinand N. 3., he died on August 28 after being seriously ill. Dear Uncle! where the Steierbergs are concerned, they are still reasonably well, only the aunt is also sick quite often. Apart from that we are still pretty well. Dear Uncle and Aunt, now I must also tell you about our harvest. That summer when you were here it was rather cold. The harvest, well, it is still okay. Rye costs [illegible] 2 liters 19 Marks. Wheat suffered from the frost this last winter. That does not yield much here, one Himpe [an old German grain measure] costs 5 Marks and 50 Pfennigs. Oats is doing very well. It is 2 M. and 40 - 50 Pfennigs for one Himpe. The prices for grain are high here, not so however those for cattle. [new page] Fat pigs are 40 -42 Marks for 100#. 6-weeks-old piglets are 10 - 12 Marks for a pair. Cows are still rather expensive. Dear Uncle! I am sending you the picture of my oldest and youngest son Karl, he is now around 5 years old and was my father's darling. Dear Uncle and Aunt! I will now conclude this letter and hope that it will reach you in good health. With best wishes from your nephew H. Flentge and wife [Left margin remark:] Many regards from the Steierbergs, and please write again quite soon. Translator The name of the translator of the original document into English.
