Thank you so much Ian. This is wonderful new information.
I would be very grateful if you could help me with a translation. I have tried copying it into a translation tool but not very successfully.

Oh Ian thank you so much. This really gives a vivid picture of how hard life was my relatives and how very little they had.
It is interesting to think how much we take for granted, especially at this time with the way life is at the moment where we are confined to our homes. It would have been unbearable in Lars' time.
Thank you again. This is just wonderful.
