Lieber Engelmanny 



Your letter of May 28 from Berlin I reeeived somewhat late., 

 some k or 5 days ago, - only with the post marks of Berlin and Chi' - 

 cagOQ How that hangs together, I do not understand. You will have 

 reeeived in the meantime my letter in Berlin^ under the address of 

 Prof. Braun. That you all are so wellt is a great Joyvto me.. You will! 

 live through an agreable year and return with fresh courage to our 

 American conditions. . 



My family has adjusted to the country and is doing well!. .The 

 children drink the best railk like water, play the entire day, andr 

 Prosper. -My wife has not had a headache since she is in the country., 

 is well satisfied with the house, and aeclimates herseif very well! to 

 the new conditions. Unf ortunately, I can not go down often, at the 

 most 1 or 2 times per week- , . but the disagreable medical duties, bad 

 enough as it is just now, does not permit more frequent absence..Dr. 

 Bamberger lives now just 2 houses away from me, and in emergencies, 

 which occur- ±n my absence,,I send the patients to hinn But, until now, 

 no such case has happened. . Because the State of health of the city is 

 better, than I have ever seen it. The normal listing of deaths is 50 

 - 60. Just last week.when we had bad heat on 3 days, dailyv?8 - 97,, 

 it went to 90. In contrast, now it is again so cold, that my thermo- 

 meter this morning showed only 50, and the mortality has been redu- 

 ced again. .Fritz, who now has vacation, has also moved down, so that 

 I am now alone, and find myself quite lonely in the big city.. 

 Kimnrheld day before yesterday an auetion of his city lots in Kimm 1 s 



and reeeived about $ 5#000. Further he exchanged the 



northern end of his property, where he lives for an iron foundry 

 (Harrison & Co.))and a sawmill^for $ 500 an acre. He has not been 

 able to seil his residence so far, .and will be with us still one
