Thanks Mr. Hallquist. I wish we had a few more Daly examples similar to yours from the 1920s and more from the early 1930s. I assume they will surface over time.

The plot thickens and I for the time I think this Fredrick W. Hollender to be the pen pal of Richard Schüler and possibly an importer of guns. The following NY Times article states that Carl Tielenius was a beer importer and purchased the beer importing Frederick W. Hollender & Co. firm circa 1910. Maybe Hollender was just an importer and would start a business and then sell it. Then he would go back to being an importer of something else. I wonder if Carl Tielenius was an importer of beer & guns from Germany. Who knows for now.

Frederick/Fredrik W. Hollender was from Germany and had 2 sons in the German Army: Brno & Frederick. The paragraph is just above "Safe in Stockholm" on the left side: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A0CE2DF1638E633A2575AC0A96E9C946596D6CF . So it was a much more Germanic connection than one might think and that was why the letters were always in German.
