Letter to Annelise and Warder from Annelise's maternal aunt Karen Laugesen. Matching envelope. Letter: Two pages. The letter is written on typewriter. The second page has one line of typewritten text and a signature in pencil on the back. In the top corner to the viewer's right on the first page, it says "København, Søndag, 18/8.57." The letter opens "Dear Annelise & Warder," and ends "With best love, / Moster" on the back of the second page. The two pages do not have the same size. At the beginning of the letter, Karen mentions a letter that she wrote to Annelise's mother which she asks Annelise and Warder to read as well. She then thanks them for some reels with pictures of local landscapes that they sent her for her View-Master. She writes about American acquaintances of hers who have visited or are going to visit Denmark, and she writes that she is looking very much forward to Annelise and Warder's visit to Denmark. She also writes about her recent trip to Italy (see object ID: 2011.013.118, 2011.013.119), and she writes about her upcoming trip to France (see object ID: 2011.013.118, 2011.013.101).

Above the address it says "5 Gram", and this is also written in typewriter and underlined with a dotted line. In the top corner to the viewer's right is a blue, Danish postage stamp with a picture of the Trundholm sun chariot. Across the postage stamp is a postal mark and a stamp with the text "det rigtige er / et STATSTELEGRAM / på FESTBLANKET / DE STØTTER / KAMPEN MOD KRÆFTEN" and a picture of a telegram, all in a thin, black frame.
