Dear Ernst: Jeane and I received a couple of days ago a very delicious box of biscuits which you and Elizabeth were kind enough to send us for Christmas with your good wishes. We were so happy to receive same and to know that you were thinking of us. It was a sad Christmas for us because my brother, Stanley, died two days before Christmas at the age of 69. His death, however, had been expected for two or three months so the shock was not as bad as it might otherwise have been. Again our thanks and best wishes from Jeane and myself to you and Elizabeth. Yours sincerely, Mr. Ernst Freund 1721 Pine Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
