Sister Maria Columba, Colorado, 2021:

"The eldest brother, Jes, went first to seek his fortune in America and became rich. He had a mill in Chapman, Nebraska, and eventually moved to Omaha and was a banker and stockbroker with a large family of children.

Jes never wanted to go back to Stenderup. He gave the credit for his success to Germany rather than Denmark because of his education there and said that he owed nothing to Denmark. He had been sent to "Germany" to school. Probably this meant Haderslev or some other place in Slesvig belonging to Germany at the time."

Dear Son and Daughter,

I thank you many times for the Christmas presents, both the money and the nice slippers. I am very pleased with them. Mine are now too short. I had them resoled. These are warm. I am freezing all the time. I am well, however, but I cannot walk. Sister is not well. We help each other as we can. Living is expensive here now. Our long war goes on, it is hard to get firewood, coal is not to be had or too expensive, and wood is no better.

We have not had a lot of frost but storms and rain, but today it is freezing and snowing.

I wrote in November... whether you got it... to wish you a happy birthday and a good new year and good health.

Affectionate greetings to the children and you from sister, mother, and bedstemoder.

Maren Frimann.
