Message: Original is in German; English translation: "Centuria, Wisconsin, 30 Nov. 1937. L.J., E.A.E., Your last letter arrived here on the 17th of November and we have already answered it. As you can see, I do not have much to say.2 I hope you are all in good health, as are we. We have had a mild cold wave come down from Canada which has resulted for several days in temperatures around 5 degrees Fahrenheit, although nice and sunny. We have had hardly any snow. I have read that there has been civil unrest in Innsbruck and all over Austria, with fierce fïghting between police and insurrectionists. Hopefully it was all exaggerated. On the other side of this card is a picture of the St. Croix River, which is about a quarter mile from here by car. Well, the postal train should be arriving, so I had better stop. Many heartfelt greetings to all of you, Leo, Ida, Kenneth [Mader]."
