L. Schwester!

Da es nun schon bald 1 Jahr ist, seit mir die letzte Nachricht von Dir erhalten haben, möchte ich hiermit anfragen, wie es Dir geht. Bei uns ist alles im alten Geleise und gibt es auch nichts Neues. Auch bei den übrigen Geschwistern fehlt nichts. Hoffentlich bist Du gesund und wohl. Lasse endlich wieder einmal etwas hören von Dir.

Von uns Allen die besten Grüße und Glückwünsche zum [?] neuen [/?] [?] Fahre [/?]

Fritz

Dear Sister!

Since it has been almost a year since I received the last message from you, I would like to inquire how you are doing. With us everything is on the old track and there is nothing new. Nothing is missing from the other siblings either. Hopefully you are healthy and well. Let me hear something from you again.

Best regards from all of us and congratulations on the [?] new position [/?].

Fritz
