München 15 Juni 1930 Liebe Mina! Deinen Brief vom 5/6 Juni N: 28 kam in unseren Besitz u gleichzeitig auch einen von Agnes. Es freut uns Dich wohlauf zu wissen u können von uns somit auch berichten auch mit Agnes Brief haben wir uns sehr gefreut. Die weißen Schuhe werden so rasch wie möglich erledigt u hoffen dass selbe [gefunden?] sind. Was wir dir von hier nach- schicken können so lange wir hier sind ist doch nach unserer Ansicht viel bescheiden[er?] u [?] dadurch hast du ein paar Groschen [gespart?] dies wirst du auch verstehen. Keine weitere Wünsche haben wir [?], dieselbe liegen zu [?] unserem [?]. Ja ich glaube gern, dass die Mitteilung von der [?] Frau Maier dich erschüttert hat, [... unleserlich] die Zeit ab überstanden u hat es der l. Gott mit ihr gut gemeint. [?] Bin jetzt mit der Ausarbeitung meiner [?] u [?] die [?] Begriff [... unleserlich] das Suchen macht einen bekannten [?] uns u arbeitet [?] seit [Dezember?] kam, [... unleserlich] [?] die Arbeit wird immer größer u das Geld weniger. aber wenn [?] ich damit abfinden soll geht jetzt noch die [Schul?]- zeit nach besser. Von Holland müsst[e?] die inzwischen Brief erhalten haben. Selbstverständ[lich?] wenn wir von Ausland keinen Gebrauch machen brauchen wäre es besser aber wenn wieder etwas dazwischen kommen wird ist es vielleicht besser [... unleserlich] zu haben. Hast du noch [Puder?] u l. [?]. Hast du keine Tassen mehr
Munich, 15 June 1930 Dear Mina! Your letter of 5/6 June N: 28 came into our possession and at the same time also one from Agnes. We are glad to know you are well and can accordingly report the same of ourselves; we were also very pleased with Agnes's letter. The white shoes will be seen to as quickly as possible, and we hope that they have been [found?]. What we can send you on from here for as long as we are here is after all, in our view, much more modest, and [?] by that you save a few pennies [?] you will understand this too. We have no further wishes [?] for now, they lie too [?] to our [?]. Yes, I readily believe that the news about [?] Frau Maier shook you; [... illegible] the time survived, and the dear Lord meant well by her. [?] I am now busy with the working-out of my [?] and [?] the [?] idea [... illegible] the searching makes an acquaintance [?] us and works [?] since [December?] came, [... illegible] [?] the work keeps getting greater and the money less. But if [?] I am to resign myself to it, the [school?]- time still goes better afterwards. From Holland they must have received the letter in the meantime. Of course[?], if we do not need to make any use of abroad it would be better, but if something comes in between again it is perhaps better [... illegible] to have. Have you still got any [powder?] and [?]. Have you no more cups
Second page of the pair is 001_018_0004; this is page 1 of a two-page private family letter written in German Kurrent and dated 'München 15 Juni 1930'. It is an ordinary domestic letter, written eight years before the emigration crisis that dominates the rest of this folder: it deals with a pair of white shoes being sent, small sums of money, news of a Frau Maier, a heavy workload and shrinking income, and letters exchanged with Agnes and with Holland. The addressee is 'Liebe Mina', addressed with the familiar 'Du'; the mention of Dollars on the second sheet suggests she was already living in the United States. The catalogue links this item to Julius Oppenheimer, Elsa Oppenheimer and Mina Oppenheimer née Kirchhausen; that linkage is unverified here, and Mina née Kirchhausen (d. 1913 Gemmingen) cannot be a correspondent in 1930 and is not named anywhere on the sheet. The München dateline also does not match the Gemmingen/Stuttgart residences recorded for Julius and Elsa Oppenheimer, so the attribution should be treated with caution.
