This image displays a sheet of paper with dense German handwriting and a simple black ink drawing at the top. The drawing depicts a basic scene with a church or house-like structure, showing a steeple and an adjacent building, along with what might be stars or snowflakes in the sky. The handwriting is in old German script, known as Kurrent or Sütterlin, which was common in the early 20th century. The date "30. 11. 31." is written at the top, indicating the letter was likely written on November 30, 1931. The letter appears to be personal correspondence, as suggested by the informal salutation and the intimate, conversational tone of the content. The text refers to specific events and personal news, including a reference to a "Künstlerbund" which usually denotes an artists' association. There are also mentions of drawings and perhaps local politics or social events. The text includes some amendments and corrections, characteristic of a spontaneously written letter.
