| Jun 18 at 17:36 | comment | added | Kjartansk | I am sorry to say that the shine-through issue is not easily resolved, but in actuality most of the letter is on the first page and only the top 10% of the second page. You can see where the sender has signed with Frid. Huth. The problem is that this letter is written with acidic iron gall ink, so this is not a shine-through problem but a burn-through. I am working on the letter and will add words I find. In English and Norwegian letters I get some more support from knowing the language well, but here is the extra challenge of this being German or Swiss-German. | |
