Detail Description

A letter from fellow, Isaac Gimmpratz (?) of Allentown Pennsylvania to a lady Julie Gottsehalk in Essen (Germany) or Iselin (New York). From the tone of the letter it appears they are relatives. The writer complains that he has not received any correspondence from Ms. Julie and requests that she write. Mr. Isaac confirms that he has just moved into a new house and was just called to sign up in the military. He apologizes for not writing in straight lines as it is Chol HaMoed furthermore he promises to send dollars!
