This is a World War I-era letter written on 6 April 1916.
The story behind it seems rather hard to believe, but here in my town a shoe box was found on the side of the road with a bunch of German letters, postcards, and photographs ranging from the German Empire in 1895, through the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, and into 1956 West Germany. The latest item in the box is a Swiss ski pass from the 1970s. The group I'm working with to try to decipher the owner's background has already achieved quite a lot, but we feel that these letters will be undoubtedly helpful in understanding his life better.
