Ich staune immer wieder über die wunderschönen Handschriften, auch bei meinen Vorfahren. Das kann heute keiner mehr.

Stimmt so pauschal nicht! Wir haben in der Schule noch "Schönschreiben" gelernt und ich kenne einige Leute meiner Generation, die das auch heute noch pflegen. Man muss es nur wollen!

What a great example of penmanship and a great vintage piece of correspondence. Lutz will see if Charlie and I have any luck with the parts of the letter that are following the $325 for day ... will get back to you.

Danke Lothar, da wurde die Post noch mit der legendären Postkutsche befördert (na ja, vielleicht gabs da ja doch schon die Eisenbahn, aber gerade eben).
