O.K., let's do this; that should be worth 1000 points or so ;-)
"Nebel"- Amrum, Sep 8, 1959 ("Nebel" is a town on the North Frisian island of Amrum)
Our dear ones in the U.S.A,
Now quickly a little sign of life [from us], we are having a roaring "season, and it's still going strong. We can hardly make it through, but [business] is slowly ebbing off, THANK GOD! What will you think of us not writing at all! It has just not been possible; we have been working through to 10 or 10. 30 p.m. every evening. Otherwise [we had] a wonderful summer. Ursel also came unexpectedly, she rang us from Niebüll, we picked her up at Wittdün, and she came right into working. She helps out in the house and in the shop, and she can do all that very nicely and neatly. Respect! She really has developed nicely, is a little "Ohmi Hambg. ["Granny Hamburg"?] and also has learnt a lot from me that other time, as she says. Last Tuesday Kalle, Hildegard and me went to Helgoland for a day [to see?] Hart and Ingrid and the boys, it was great if sadly too short! [Last] Saturday and Sunday, the Martinsen [?] family etc. went over for the baptism and "Jürgen's wedding" More details about that in the letter. Sunday evening we were invited at Hirsch-Ricius [?] and Lisbeth, nee Ide, for [his, see arrow] 75th birthday and Alfred came home for a day until Sunday at six o'clock [a.m.?]. Thgere's always a lot going on here, one hardly comes to one's senses. Letter to follow soon.
All the best, Klärchen and family.

Sorry...The handwriting is giving me trouble-I'd have a better chance if it was typed! it's basically an update postcard/letter to Family..The writer mentions going to Helgoland one day with Hildegarde,And Kurt and Ingrid.and a Mention of Juergen's Wedding (it looks like "Hochzeit"..)Can't make out the signature-Looks like M.T (or J) Something beginning with C..
Hope someone else can Help more!
