Robison to Weber - 1912

This postcard above is from 1912 and was written in German by Frederick Robison to Adolf Weber during a return trip to America after a tour in Europe. (Image supplied by Franco).

A closer look at the message is below:

 

It reads:

"Lieber Bruder Weber: grüsse aus Irland. Die Reise des Comitees ist jetzt heimwärts gerichtet. Bald sind wir da. Deiner in Christo J.H.Robinson"

English translation:

Dear Brother Weber, greetings from Ireland, the journey of the Committee is now directed homeward, and soon we will be there, Yours in Christ, F H Robison.

(Editorial note: this was the return journey from the tour made by C T Russell and others investigating foreign missions. See Watch Tower for April 15, 1912. Weber had once worked as a gardener for CTR in Pittsburgh, afterward spearheading the work in his native Switzerland and Robison was to be one of the Brooklyn eight imprisoned in 1918.)
