Dear Father, thanks very much for all the papers that came today - John O’L. the Sketches etc. I saw a short note in one of the papers about the funeral of a dancer called Argentina - it wasn’t the great Argentine was it surely? We haven’t been getting any news at all and [???] has no bills[???] allowed. Did you like the one I sent you about Olympia? Renee [???] will be home on Monday I think and will be phoning you she sends her love. I got a marvelous 75pf airmail stamp today in the PO and will send it when I have a heavy enough letter. It was lying in a drawer at the side of the counter and I asked for it without thinking that it’s worth 9dm. Maybe my first letter from Isenach will be heavy enough.

Munchen, Michaelshofkirche - Inneres

I think I’ve about exhausted my supply of Munich p/cs so this will be one of the last. It’s the headquarters of the Nat Soc party and is brown in color. Thanks to Auntie [???].C letter this am, mum for her letter, Dorothy for her letter and father for a pc. Mum’s letter and father’s pc were both insufficiently stamped but I only had to pay half a deustche mark extra between them. It’s a very good pc of south Seaford [???} views and I don’t know whether I’ll get a letter written to you today so that’s why I’m sending this now. I’m very sorry about missing two days, I think that airmail letters would account for one by arriving along with other communications from me. Much Love Helen.

Munchen, Ehrentempel fur die Gefallen. Der 9 Nov 1923

Lengauer Munchen Nr. 357

Dear Father, This is the town hall on the left and you can see two men in shorts and a girl in the middle in her Bavarian frock and apron just as you see them everywhere. Wouldn’t it be lovely if people dressed like that at home - I wish all wore kilts. We went to pictures[???] tonight for the first time and saw Annie Lendra[???] and Max Schmaling[???]’s wife in a comedy. But she’s nothing but a pretty pretty little blonde and just has to look coy all the time. It cost us 90Pf each and the seats were wooden ow! 8.30 to 10.30! Professor Penhauses[???] second recital is tomorrow and I think we’ll be doing a university excursion on Saturday. We’ve had thunder and rain the last few days and haven’t been able to do much outside.

194 Munchen. Marienplatz

Nr 194. Suddeutscher Kunstverlag M. Seidlein, Munchen

Very nice to be getting the papers from father. Do you remember I had a snap of this being built last year? It’s finished now and Hitler is coming to open it on Saturday so we’re hoping to see him. There’s to be an enormous procession and decorations are being put up in the streets now. I’m glad we’ll get seeing inside this place, the house of German art it is. We’ve got vouchers for the opera on the 20th, Wagner’s Die Meisterzingen and are going to a Mozart one the following week. Much Love from Helen.

Dear Dorothy, Of all things to find in Germany we found a Woolworths here yesterday. This one of their p/cs (4 for 2 1/2 d) and I got 25 big envelopes for 2 1/2 -d I’ll send the next letter in one of them. Dinner here in the Haus last night cost me 3 1/2 d- a huge plate of rice and canned beef and salad and a glass of milk (it was the 1/2 d-) we are told it’s pancakes with cherries inside tonight (also 3 d). Love Helen.

Munchen. Maximilianstrasse mit Maximilianeum

Dear Aunt Jean, I think this is a palace but I haven’t seen it yet. Munich is a beautiful city and has very wide and clean streets. The place we are staying in is a girl student’s hostel and is in a quiet part of the town. We pay 1-/6 for bed and breakfast and have the sweetest little rooms you ever saw.

125 Munchen. Maximulianeum

Nr. 125 Suddeutscher Kunstverlag M. Seidlein, Munchen

We went a walk around this way the other night but it wasn’t floodlit. It is beside the river and Dorothy and Abby are duly impressed by the speed of the [???] of the Isar. We haven’t been in any museums yet but will probably go to this palace and some of the galleries near it on Sunday unless we can get an excursion somewhere. There aren’t any weekend excursions now, just one a week on Wednesday. Much Love from Helen.

M 226. Munchen, Maximilianeum bei Nacht

Ottmar Zieher. Munchen. Fotokarte.

Dear Auntie, it’s just above this weir that we saw [???] and you can see the boiling effect in the water on the other side of this bridge. Aren’t the postcards all lovely? I meant to get some at the [???] on Tuesday but forgot, so I’ll need to get them the next time we go. I’ve been reading that the lake is 13 miles long and 3 miles across at it’s widest parts so you can see it’s a fair size building at the back. This view is a church and that’s an island in the river on the left side. Our German is getting on not so badly, we can understand infinitely better than we can speak it and I seem to be speaking more French than anything else. With Best Love from Helen.

Munchen, Isar mit Lukaskirche

T. Nr. 945 J. Velten Verlag, Karlsruhe i. B.

Dear Father, thank-you for the Herald which arrived this am. Uncle Jack is fairly excelling himself in his occasional appearances - Three wickets in one over was pretty hot! The whole of the Loius Shandling [???] is on in one of the biggest picture houses but it costs 1.10 for the cheapest seat there. This is the garden part of the famous Hofbrauhaushof and in Dorothy’s p/c you see the entrance hall arches on the right and there is a beer cellar and then two floors of beer halls with the room in each case taking up the whole length and breadth of the building. They have bands too, and you sit and drink beer and eat sausages etc. and listen to the music. They don’t serve either coffee or lemonade so you just have to go without any drinks if you don’t beer or wine. Much love Helen.
