Scope / Description |
Two letters from Chr. Emil Clement to his brother Aage Julius Clement. Both letters are written on a typewriter in black ink. Letter 1: One page, textured paper with writing on both sides. The letter is written on a page which has a letterhead with the names of six solicitors at the top corner to the viewer's left. In the top corner to the viewer's right it has an address, and next to the address the date has been filled in by typewriter. The first word on the page has been underlined, it is "Søndagsbrev". Below this is the address of the recipient, Mr. Manager A.J. Clement. The city, which is the last word in the address, has been underlined. Next to the first line of the letter is a note that the letter contains an enclosure, "./.". Towards the bottom of the front side of the page, four words have been crossed out. At the bottom corner to the viewer's left, there is a "C" printed, and at the corner to the viewer's right, it says "Vend!". The letter is signed in black ink on the back side. The letter is dated October 4, 1947. In the letter, Christian writes that he encloses a presentation of accounts, both the original and a copy (object ID: 2011.013.062). He writes that he hopes Aage will find that it is consistent with his own records, and if so he asks Aage to sign and return the copy of the presentation of accounts, so that Christian can add it to Aage's securities. He then writes that he will supply Magda, Aage's wife, and Annelise, their daughter, with the cash they need for the period of time before they follow Aage to the U.S. He continues to write that when Aage leaves for the U.S., he will take as good care as possible of Aage's financial interests, just as he did, when Aage were in Japan. He writes that even though he cant make any guarantees on behalf of the stock markets, he will be more cautious than if the stocks had been his own. He then comments that it is probably superfluous to write that, and that it is Aage's impending departure that makes him feel the need to state it. He then sends his greetings to Aage and the family. 8 1/4 x 10 3/4. Letter 2: Three pages stapled together. At the top corner to the viewer's right is the address of the sender and the date. It reads: "Charlottenlund, den 15/12 1947 / Viggo Rothesvej 32 A". On the first page at the bottom corner to the viewer's left, there is a "C" printed, At the top center of the second and third page it says "- 2 -" and "- 3 -" respectively. On page two, two words have been divided by a vertical line made with a pen. At the bottom of the third page, the letter is signed in black ink, and below the signature is a purple stamp with the sender's name. The back sides of the three pages are blank. The letter is dated December 15, 1947. In the letter, Christian asks for news about Aage's new life in the U.S. and tells about his and the family's life back in Denmark. He comments on a letter that Aage sent on December 5, 1947, and writes that he was glad to hear the Aage got a position, when he arrived. He writes that even though it is not a great position, it will be a good position for acclimatizing until something better turns up. He mentions that Magda has undergone surgery, and that the boxes that Aage and his family left behind in Japan have now arrived in Copenhagen. He then writes about hunts that he has been on, and he mentions that he had to trade in his old gun for another used one, because he had not been able to get the right ammunition for it since the beginning of the war. He also writes that he has had problems with the tires for his car. Two have exploded, and although he have been lucky to get two new ones, the two old ones that are still left might explode any minute. He also mentions that coffee and tea are real rarities in Denmark, and that Aage could make Misse, Christian's wife, very happy by sending her a pound of either coffee or tea. He writes about Aage's stocks that they are stable. He then writes that he has payed both the fee for the shipment of the boxes from Japan, as well as Kr. 2000 in cash for Magda for her and Annelise, before they leave for the U.S. He writes that he hopes that the letter has reached Aage by Christmas, and he wishes him a merry Christmas in spite the fact that he will be missing the family in Denmark. He then mentions that Sisse, his daughter, and her husband have moved to farm, and that they seem to be doing well. Ending the letter he writes that Misse and Finn, their son, asks him to send the most heartfelt greetings. 8 1/4 x 10 3/4. |
