A letter addressed to Aunt Fanny (i.e., Frances Anne Lloyd, one of the Lloyd sisters) dated May 20th, 1905 by an unknown sender from Jena, Thuringia - thanking her for a "precious" gift (delivered by Jemima or Lucy) and enumerating local landmarks in Jena. The letter, with the sender's signature and accompanying postcard/picture cut off, likely came from one of Wilhelm and Jemima's daughters (as it mentions "Uncle Ernst" [Bleek's first cousin, Ernst Haeckel, long associated with Jena University]).
