<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 374692, member: 5833&quot;]It sure looks like a wedding invitation reply, on that kind of card.&nbsp; An envelope with a more complete address no longer with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>He switches to a more modern style when he writes Caroline &amp; Stadlinger.&nbsp; In Tochter &amp; Vater, &amp; other places, the lower case e looks like n, &amp; the lower case r looks like H made smaller.&nbsp; The lower case a is also different, looking like 2 letters instead of one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I simply can&#039;t make ihr out of the word before Caroline.&nbsp; Could it be &#039;die&#039;?&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing the wording is as antique as the script, that he might say the daughter where we would put my daughter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think he wanted to keep the first line on one line, got cramped for space &amp; had to write the last 2 words with less space between them than he would normally use.&nbsp; First is short, ends in z?, &amp; may start with e?&nbsp; (That&#039;s not the way he makes m.)&nbsp; I&#039;m handicapped by not being able to guess from a part what the whole word might be.&nbsp; Does it make any sense if the last word, first line, starts Just__ &amp; ends in the same letter as the second word, second line?&nbsp; I&#039;m going with the idea that in the middle of a word he would make an s that looks more like an f.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thought German puts the verb at the end.&nbsp; Are there times when you would put it up front, as we think it is here?&nbsp; [And so] becomes the daughter adjective noun?</p><p><br /></p><p>Would expect the next line to be something like Her proud father; von Stadlinger is some other kind of father.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
