This collection of letters, dating from 1869 to 1932, includes letters exchanged by members of the extended Baur/Eichner family. Most of the letters were sent to Christian Baur, who immigrated to the United States in the 1860s and eventually settling in Reading, Pennsylvania; to his sister Fredericka Baur Eichner (who also immigrated to Reading); and to Fredericka Baur Eichner's daughter Florence Eichner Seiz. The most frequent letter author is Pauline Baur Schwald, sister of Christian and Fredericka Baur.
