Worthy Staats-Anzeiger!

All winter long we had nice and mild weather, but today we have a snowstorm and it is very cold. This has not been the case all winter long. We already have high snowdrifts and it is still snowing. Naturally, the snow is giving us lots of moisture, which is necessary for a good harvest. We really should be satisfied. The lakes are already full of water. Once the snow starts melting we can start building ships.

The health conditions are good. There is nothing else new to report from here.

I greet my parents, friends and acquaintances.

(*Editor: Thank you for the money. The $5 you sent is only worth $4 here. In order to get the dictionary, you will have to send us another $1.25 sometime soon.)

This is to inform Joachim Both in Krasna, Bessarabia that Zachaeus Kahl in Shields, North Dakota paid for him to receive the Staats-Anzeiger for 1 year and he is sending his greetings. Mr. Kahl is asking you to sometimes write a letter for his parents, because they don’t know how to write.

This is to inform Zachaeus Kahl in Shields, North Dakota that we received the money, which we will transmit to your in-laws. We will not charge you for this job. We are sorry that the money you once sent didn’t arrive over there. We guarantee that the money, which is sent through us, will arrive there. Best Greeting.

Editor
