A collection of letters written in German and English relating to the Course family between 16 May 1932-4 December 1978. There is one letter dated 12 June 1917 from Jakob Langer.

Many of the letters are written to Hertha and Peter as well as the “children”. Many of the earlier letters relate to the family’s escape from Vienna during the Second World War.
