Dear Staats-Anzeiger!
The health conditions are not praiseworthy. Several children are sick with German measles. Among those children are Johannes Ploski’s oldest daughter and his small son.
The stork came to Johannes and Leogathia Ploski delivering twin boys, one of them died soon after birth. The mother and the other boy are doing fine. This is to inform Jakob and Leonhardt Ploski.
My brother Adam is asking Daniel and Johannes Kopp for a sign of life.
We are thanking our friend Anselmo Wagner in South America for the memories and his greeting. We are also greeting the newly arrived fellow countrymen Joseph and Zelestina Nagel. Since Joseph is a very skillful writer, it would be very nice if he would write sometime in the Staats-Anzeiger.
Congratulations to Rochus and Maria Paul for their daughter. Most likely, this American princess chased away Rochus’s homesickness. Please write!
With a greeting,
Anna Moldenhauer
