From: Dodge, Dunn County, ND
29 December 1917

Again, I would like to direct several lines to the dear paper. I read a letter in the Staats-Anzeiger, in which a certain Jakob Kuntz addresses me as a brother. I do not have a brother Jakob. Yet I would like to ask this dear friend to provide me more detailed information about his descendant.

My father is Peter Kuntz, and moved from Sulz to Krasna, Bessarabia. My father has a brother named Joseph; however, I do not have a brother by that name. My brothers’ names are Kosmas (?) and Vinzenslaus (?) and the sister is Annamaria. I also have three stepbrothers, Johannes, Franz, and Martin. My mother’s name is Anna nee Schulz. Now I also would like some detailed information from you, dear friend.

Wishing the editor, staff, and all readers a Happy New Year,

I remain,
Mathias Kuntz.
