Letter from Heinrich Simon to his uncle Heinrich Simon the Elder (SIM/1/117)
Heinrich Simon writes a letter of condolence to his Uncle Heinrich, which seems a little stilted and uncomfortable, perhaps because it is some time after Aunt Marianne’s death. He closes with a description of the classical works he is reading at school and with greetings to his cousins.
Note(s):
This letter was likely written and sent with HS/C/86, dated 22 December 1820.
