De familie Schole hoopt 30 Nov. per auto te arriveren! Pam Henning, Corry Vonk en ik ook 30 Nove. per trein om ±18.00 Gare du Nord. Als u ons komt halen is dat prettig. Als het niet kan zien we dat wel. Als Cor Lemaire meer op 1 Dec. even van diezelfde trein gehaald kan worden, want anders is ie zo alleen in dat grote Parijs. U herkent hem direct: de man die er het slechtste uitzien is Cor Lemaire!" [10/11/1951].

79 2191 Turkey Mehmed Emin Ali Pasha 1815 1871 
- Folded several times, with some slight wear on folds.
= Mehmed Emin Ali Pasha (also spelled as Mehmed Emin Aali), was an important statesman, involved in many of the major decisions between 1845 and 1871. He also had a decisive influence on the plans concerning the development of the Turkish railroad infrastructure. The present document apparently relates to the planning of railway routes in the European part of the Ottoman empire (important for the unification of the rapidly weakening Ottoman empire) and gives an (unidentified) Austrian(?) engineer the task to advise the Ottoman rulers on the best route for the railway line and also orders the Ottoman bureaucracy to support him whenever he requests support.
79/2192 Voorburg Huis Vreeburg Voorburg 
= Mostly notarial deeds concerning the country house Vreeburg near Voorburg. The stately home was eventually sold to a mr. Hendrik Abraham Bollard in 1826. The artist Johannes Huibert Prins (1757-1806) drew a section of this house dated around the same time as these documents in his sketchbook (now in Rijksmuseum, BI-1891-3134-2).
79/2193 World War I Small archive 
= Contains letters by a mr. W.P. Waterson from London (4x) and his son Fred Waterson (2x), a 2nd army lieutenant, who was killed in action in 1917, aged 21. All letters addressed to mr. A. Rozenbroek in Amsterdam, a friend of the family. Fred, who had knowledge of the Dutch language, i.a. writes from France, where he is stationed (29 August 1916): "(...) Ik ben nog niet naar de loopgraven geweest, maar verwacht voor Kerstmis daar al te zijn. Het nieuws van daag is bijzonder goed en ik denk dat de oorlog bij aanstaande lente af geloopen zal zijn, tenminste ik hoop het wel." From W.P. Waterson (1 September 1917): "My dear Sir, It is with infinite sorrow I have to tell you that our dear son Fred was killed in action on 31st July last (...). I shall always remember the kindness that our boy received at the hands of all the people in Holland (...)". Small but touching collection of personal documents.
