- LETTER FROM OTTO SCHOITZ HIS UNCLE TO HIS MOTHER NANCY SCHIØTZ,(NEE BERG) SVENDBORG
DATED SEPTEMBER 16, 1949.
Dear Nancy,
I got your letter dated September 12 today regarding your son Per. You do not have to worry more at home concerning him, he is here in Waterloo for the last 2 weeks. I have got him a job as steel construction worker at Oleson and Sons Construction Company, who works on my hospital. The same company Mogens Kierulff worked for a year. He gets 2,20 dollars per hour, so he can make $ 88 per week and that is in Danish money 424 kr. Per week.
I have also guaranteed him a position as superintendent, like the one he had in New York at the new hospital, when it gets finished next summer.
I also sent $ 275 to him and his wife in New York so he will not be put out on the street. I have had him out at my home a couple of times, he is now busy finding an apartment for him and his wife and child. I have told him he can not have a house both places, so he will probably move his furniture out here one of these days, when he has found a house, so he can live like other people.
He is a bit melancholy, maybe because he has had such bad youth, bad school education, so much interrupted etc., but he will probably get things together now.
His company is very satisfied with him, he is eager and clever with his work, so I do not have to worry about that now.
There is no one who is mad at you, Per wrote first to me about help, before I got your first letter and everything was arranged that he came here, it damn well does not help to send money, when he cannot get a job, so I sent him money to get out here, it will be better for his wife and daughter here than New York, where he has no work and where he has a hard time to find a job, it is not easy at the age of 48 years. However now I have fixed him up for the rest of his life, I think.
Many regards to Lise, Palle and Søs yours ever devoted Otto. You can send this letter to Palle
