I am only interested in learning if there is a significance to the symbol to the left of the signature of my great-great-grandmother Babette (looks like Babed) Klein.
I have no need of a translation of the letter which is in German using Hebrew letters. I also have a transcription in the German script of about 1900 by her youngest child, my great-grandfather Nathan Baer, which I have no trouble reading.
As stated in the first sentence, Babette had just learned from her family that she had been promised in marriage to the recipient, my great-great-grandfather Lazarus Baer. Nathan states with his transcription that his parents had not yet met. The letter is not dated, but Nathan dates it as 1821. They did not marry until 1832.
