الوصفLetter dated 17 November 1938 sent to Jurgen Steuerwald living in England from his friend Paul in Hannover. Paul was
probably a former school friend of Jurgen's. He talks about too much school work and asks Jurgen for a souvenir from England: sand, stamps or unusual stone. He asks Jurgen to write to him.
This letter forms part of a collection of 40 letters and postcards dating from the 1930’s that were sent to Jurgen Steuerwald in England, the majority, from his mother, living in Germany and his brother Gerhard, living in Australia. The contrast between the descriptions of life in Australia and England where the two brothers live in safety, and of the fear and danger borne by their mother living in Germany provide a striking contrast.

- German Dear Jurgen!
(first sentence is hardly readable).
I was very happy about it. I am very sorry that I have not written earlier: butthe last couple of weeks demanded my attention for example, English -, French-, Geography-, Physics-, Maths-, and German papers. How I laughed about what has been happening with you (plural). I can really imagine how you (plural) romp about and that you feel better after that makes sense. Is your English perfect already, I mean can you speak naturally? If possible, could you send me some stamps, or maybe a little souvenir, for example a small ordinary stone or some sand, primarily so I can say that it is from England. How are the areas? If you happen to have the time and feel like it, you could write me again. Many greetings from Germany sends you your Paul.
