This is an envelope. As you can see she wrote, "This is important if you want to read it. Mom."
For me this is a precious package, but I'm not sure what it's all about, because most of it is in German. Inside this package are a bunch of papers all very faded.
Here is what is inside
1. A little card saying "The family of Mrs. Aganllted Goossen will always remember your kindness and sympathy." (We are related to many Goossens.) The card is complete with envelope and dated August 27, 1960 and addressed to Mr. & Mrs. J.B. Dick, 33 Kleinsasser, Reedley, California.
2. Three handwritten letters in German.
3. A newspaper which I swear says it's from Moscow. I can't find a date. Grandma's writing is in the margins saying something.
4. A letter to the editor in Hillsboro, Kansas, by Louise Henrietta Schroeder. . . another relation family. All Mennonites are related. She says in the letter that she is grateful that she has accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior and this happened during a revibal meeting apparently conducted by Uncle Henry, my Grandmother's brother.
5. A newspaper article in German from Hillsboro, Kansas.
6. Three more German Newspaper Articles, location unknown.
7. Two more hand-written letters in German dated July 14, 1920 & December 5, 1921
8. Finally, a copy of the music for the hymn, "The Church in The Wildwood," this was a favorite of ours in church.
