17 II. Yes, isn't it sometimes like a dream that we are now finally part of the kingdom? God protect our leader and our country. Now Karl came home yesterday evening and told me everything.When he told me that he should get the cement cartel and about 30. Oo0 M salary a year,there - dear Secretary of State, I could not say anything and only had to slick,because also a great joy has a similar effect at first moment as a great pain. But then I slowly began to understand and to glow. We slept barely two hours this night and our gratitude for you knows no bounds.Wanted a kind fortune that we could prove this to you one day. We would have been satisfied with less, too.Karl says he got heart palpitations directly at this offer.All of it = seen from the amount of salary that will be a nice job r him. So now I am sitting there and still can't believe it and have loaded the heart over with thanks for you. My thanks are in poor words,but I know you will feel out how he is meant. Hopefully, the matter will be dealt with speedily,because if you have waited for so many years, it is when you are faced with the fulfilment of your wishes that every day a piece of life will be taken away from you. It is so beautiful and good to know that you have remained so completely the one we once knew and loved. Herrlieke Grnise u. beil bitler thre Rorl Zimermam
