Uncle _______-,
I hope that it is you that will receive this letter and that you are still alive and healthy. The thing is that your sister Emilia passed away March 9 because of heart disease. And she wrote a will and testament in January this year. I don't know who did help her to write it, it has not been explained. I have included her will in this letter to you.
Me, Alvida and _________ do not approve this will which is not legally valid. We want that all her possessions to be divided in to 5 equal parts. So I am asking you how we should do this and if you will send me your paper of authorization so will I take care of it so that you get your part.
The thing is that the matter is in a hurry so I want you to reply to me as fast as possible. the reason why it have taken me a while to write this letter to you is because it have been a lot of things to take care of. And if I know that this letter will get to you so will I write and tell you about how we are doing at home in Olof____.
We have a little desk standing in the cottage at tall backed that you did make back in the time, do you want us to send it to you? I don't know what more I should write about tonight so I guess this will be enough until I will get a reply from you. I am waiting for my Uncle Sigfrid to visit us for Eater. He is healthy and are still working, but he is a widower now.

My address is: Gunnar F. Svensson
_________ 36 Halmstad

Kind regards from us all to you and your family
Sincerely,
Gunnar
