Summary:
Johann writes that he and his family have been blessed to have been healthy the past year, and mentions that his son Ruben is now living and working in Happ, Idaho. He then discusses plans for visiting Switzerland, offering to wait until next year so that Christian may be able to go as well. Johann writes that although his wife would not be traveling, some of his children would like to go along.
