Titel: Old letter - translation help
Skrivet av: Hiel Lindquist skrivet 2014-04-04, 18:35
Thank you for your help.  Now the letter now makes sense to me.  He used the letters to start the fire in the stove.  My grandfather (he received the letter here in the USA) must have collected stamps.  The Swedish stamps on the letters were removed.  My grandfather must have asked if his brother-in-law in Sweden (who wrote the letter) had any used stamps.    
 
The letter was a bit difficult for me to translate as it was 2 pages long with only 2 or 3 sentences.  As we say in English, a run-on sentence.    
 
His sister, Tilda, lived in Skogsbo, a village in Södra Ving.
