Priess family correspondence

The letters are mostly concerned with the day-to-day activities of the writers, as well as events that might hold personal significance for them or for Peter; they mention everything from daily work and birthdays or funerals, to mass travel to Moscow for passports and the arrests of male family members by Russian authorities. Also included are a number of postcards that were sent to Peter in the 1930s, and a songbook belonging to Anna Janzen (1889-1977), Peter’s maternal aunt. The main letter writers include Brother Gerhard Priess (1898-1935), sister Katharina Priess (1903-1981) who moved to Nowo-Sibirsk, sister Maria Glasner (1911-1987) who moved to Nowo-Sibirsk, and cousin Käthe Dyck (1910-) who moved to Nowo-Sibirsk.

Glasner, Maria (Priess), 1911-1987
