Letters Hermann Luyken Letter from 13-year-old Hermann to his father Brilon, 2. February 1886
Dear Dad! Hermann Luyken. 18.11.1900 I would have delight in visiting you somewhen in Berlin during the winter. My personnel is once more complete: Valentin with the cows, Juiken, Bertha and Schmacken on day labour. About 50 hundredweight potatoes are sorted out in the basement. The cows can get full out there with the mild weather. The boar already weighs 500 pounds. While hunting I shot a hare and a rabbit, there are few hares this year. Dad ordered a Langhahn (a kind of chicken), mom was upset. 20.1.1901
On 25th 1. I will visit you in Berlin, I have ordered a roundway ticket. I sold the bull. I will bring along something
neat for us to eat. Today evening there is a theater event at the windmill in Hemmern 21.9.1902 I sowed twenty Morgen yesterday with the machine. I am participating at the hunt in Rellinghausen in the 4th place and am shooting a lot of hens and hares at the big hunting place. Smalleared rode off yesterday again to Wesel then to Gewelsberg. The sheep trading is going very calmly, I have 700 and want to clear up in October. I orderd a new frock coat with Isaak for the wedding of Walter Hinsen. Because his father-in-law is very ill the marriage followed at once and on the day arranegd for the wedding the burial of the father-in-law took place.When I met Albert in Velbert he told me to tell you he has something for you in Velbert: The only daughter of a millionaire who wants to marry only a physician. I already told him you would like to marry according to you taste and not because of the money. the 5th December 1902 You probably have heard about the fire at full length. We are sitting in the Aschenh�tte (cinder cottage?), the cattle is staying in the sheep barn but many souvenirs are burnt. We are planning to build up again in spring-time. The cattle should then be well arranged in a big barn. The new house must have a well built basement. You are working on your doctoral thesis and want to work again at Dr. Weiss' medical practice. Just come soon, we have a lot to talk about. 28th December 1902 It seems to me the time has come to sell. We would have the fire insurance of 18 000.- Mark and could start something with it. Building swallows up a lot of money, you can become bankrupt. The agriculture has yielded little, I am glad if I can preserve the capital stock. You earn better with commerce. For the children it would be better not to live in such a secluded area. You want to give them along a good education on their path of life. 10.1.1903 I worked with energy on the selling plans for the farm because I cannot keep it on the long run. I would have to pay the interests on a capital of 95 000.- Mark. Sigmund Reipp would pay a price of 130 000.- Mark including the inventory. If he payed 150 000.- Mark I would sell. Then I could pay out everybody in cash. The excavation is done for an eventual basement but I don't think it is wise to invest much money.
Vohwinkel, the 10th May 1903 Business is going slowly, it is difficult to get customers. We are offering screened sand of the Rhine and building materials, have a marble polishing workshop going and sell memorials of sandstone and granite. M�nne is going to school and is painting letters. The parents are now living in R�then. I haven't heard details. Letter from Vohwinkel to Ewald the 2.10.1904 The news of your engagement took me very much by surprise, I am astonished! The children cheered a lot on hearing the news: We have a new aunt! We are curious about more news and about your bride. Therfore you traveled so frequently to Bielefeld! I want to go to B�ren to the market and am talking little Walter with me to R�then.
Vohwinkel, the 6.11.1904
Dear Ewald! Your brother Hermann.
Vohwinkel, the 3rd December 1904
Dear Ewald! Your brother Hermann
Vohwinkel, the 5.2.1924
My dear Hans! from your uncle Hermann. |
