Dear
brother, Many thanks for the letter. I'm just sending a few lines for
no special reason to let you know I'm well. I'll write more soon.
Love from Gerda
The Schiller Monument in Lincoln Park, Chicago, was installed in 1886. It is a recast from the original sculpture by Ernst Rau in Marbach, Schiller's birthplace in southwest Germany. The statue in Chicago is an example of donations made by immigrant groups to honor important figures from their homeland. Schiller's poem ”Ode to Joy” was used for the chorale finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
