Letter to Heinrich Simon from Julie and Minna Simon (SIM/1/51)
Julie is upset that her brother complained that she does not write more often. She explains that she is very busy and has had a headache. Louise Bock’s first husband, Daniel Behrend Lütke , is planning to get married for a second time, as well as converting from Judaism to Christianity. This requires him and his children from his first marriage to take lessons. Jacob Lewald and his wife have recently returned from a visit to Berlin where they saw Heinrich’s great-grandmother. Minna Simon adds a brief greeting.
