Ottenberg den 12ten Dezember 1912

Mein lieber Cousen Eugen!

Weihnachten naht heran, das Fest der Liebe und Freude und will ich daher nicht versäumen, dir unsern herzlich= sten Grüße zu senden, sowie Dir fröh= liche Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neujahr zu wünschen!

Wie ich hoffe, geht es dir gesund= heilich gut, bei uns geht es auch so leidlich, Arbeit und Sorgen über= genug, still und eintönig fließt unser Leben dahin ! --- --- ---

Du bist, wie ich aus Deinem Brief ersehe, immer noch unbeweibt, und liegt wohl die Schuld allein an Dir, denn solch ein Adonis

Transcribe What You See: As much as possible, transcribe the text as it appears on the page, including original spellings (even if they are incorrect/non-traditional) and keeping abbreviations as written. Insert a return at the end of each line as it appears on the page, and two returns for paragraphs. Transcribe the page in the order in which it was meant to be read: for example, marginal post scripts should be placed at the end of your transcription.

For more guidance, please visit our Scripto tips page.
