transcription requested [German > English/German] Transcription Request: 1928 Gabelsberger Shorthand in a family letter (Oradea to Vienna)
Hello everyone,
I have a letter from 1928 where a central 10-line passage was written in shorthand (most likely Gabelsberger Stenografie). I would be extremely grateful if someone could help transcribe it into German (and/or English).
Context & Background:
Date & Location: June 7, 1928, sent from Oradea (Romania) to Vienna (Austria).
Writer: Erna (sister).
Recipient: Erich (brother, who just graduated with his medical degree / Promotion at the University of Vienna).
Immediately preceding longhand text: Erna congratulates him on passing his exams
(I'm happy to put up an image of the entire page if that's helpful
Because this passage is in shorthand, it is likely personal advice, family gossip, financial matters, or confidential thoughts about his next career/personal steps.
Any help reading any or all of these lines would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
