Note N2078 Index

At age 18, came from the province of Baden to Harve, France. Sailed on the ship Wm. Frothingham, arriving 20 May 1861 in New York. Louis was a farmer in Germany. Of Sippersfeld. Between 1910 and 1920, Louis and Lina Liebrich left Ohio and moved to Banning, California, with their son Jacob Liebrich.

At the web site http://www.internet-fenster.de/genealogy/b0000/b1000/b1_200/brief.htm is posted a letter that was written back to the home folks in Germany by the Liebrichs who had come to America. Exactly which of the party wrote the letter is not known. It is dated 20 June 1869. Dear brother-in-law and sister. I take the feather pen, in order to write a few lines to you, how it went with us on this journey. On the 15th of May, we left home and traveled to Ludwigshafen, the next day (Saturday) we continued to travel and in the evening came to Cologne, there we were allowed to stop just long enough to eat. We continued to travel until Monday afternoon at 4:00, when we arrived at Hamburg, where we had to remain until leaving on Wednesday. On Tuesday evening, we entered our room, and then we danced until 11:00. We sailed away with music, and were completely merry. The next day, Friday we came to Le Havre, there our ship was held all day long, so we went into the city and tried some of the local beer. It tasted very good to us, except that the Schoippen is too small. Saturday we set sail again, and afterwards we saw nothing more than sky and water. We had a good trip, and every evening there was music. We were not sick except for August who ate and drank nothing for three days. On the morning of the first of June we saw land. That was a beautiful morning for us, becasue after being locked up with 800 other humans, one is certainly glad to be released. At about 5 pm in the evening, we came to New York, and it is a wonderful city. There we stayed until Wednesday evening, and then we continued our journey. Friday morning we came to Hammelton, which is where Philipp Geissler lives, and then we went on with him to Darrtown. My dear sister, if we ever get to come back to you, I can tell you how happy we are, but the pen is much too weak to do it justice. There would be tears of joy to see you again. I wish that you were here with us, because it is much better here than in Germany. Here you don't have to work so hard and still you can make good lives for yourself. Jacob and Mr. Schorsch work here on their own businesses. Jacob makes 30 Taler a month, the Schorsch makes 28 and the Taler is 2 Gulden 30 francs. You know that a man in Germany would have to work a whole year for that. August and I are still with our sister. I was away for five weeks helping somewone with the harvest, and there I got 2 Taler a week. If I worked in germany as a hired hand, I would earn only about 50 francs. Here I have in 10 weeks and don't have to work so hard for it. Here the farm servant makes as much as the Madam. Sundays, the men still walk rather than drive, but that's no problem for me, every day is better than the last. I need to write my parents, so that they can know how it goes with us. Dear Sister, I wish every day that we could get back together again. It would be so wonderful if we could get together again, so that we could walk and drive together. That would fill up the wagon But in America no one travels by train, only by wagon. I don't know much else to write to you, other than that we are all still quite healthy, and we wish you the same. We greet all of you and we remain your brothers and sisters. Justus, Karoline, Peter, Jakob, Lui, Georg, Anna and Auguste Liebrich. Karoline is still upset that you did not send her your best wine. Dear sister, Jokob is doing well in Cincinnati, but he could not find your brother-in-law. Greet our cousins and their children....I thank her for the gift, wheich she gave to me. Greet the Schimmels for us, and tell Adam he should come here. Shoemakers make tremendously much money. Greetings to you and your wife. We love you all. Whether we will see each other again, only he who directs our fate knows.
