 From Heinrich Nieland to Herman Nieland, August 26, 1956
Von Josef Nieland an Herman Nieland, 26. August 1956
This postcard is from Herman Nieland's collection of personal papers. Heinrich Nieland (1914-1986) of Ramsdorf wrote the card from Germany to his uncle Herman Nieland (1885-1957) in Breda, Iowa. Heinrich's son, Josef, also signed the card. In July 1956 Herman and his brother Bernard Christopher Nieland (1874-1965) traveled from America to visit relatives in Germany. He received this card shortly after his he returned home to Breda. In the card Heinrich asks about Hermann’s reception upon his return. The card is postmarked from Kevelaer—a widely known pilgrimage site in northwestern Germany.
