1922 Telegraph


Found telegraph from 1922 announcing the birth of my grandfather!

The inside reads:
Received in Hilversum (a Dutch down near Bussum) on June 24 1922 7:24
(sent from Amsterdam 7:15)

A sturdy son, everything very good - Tonny (my great-grandfather)

The outside is addressed to a Father Egbertus (my grandfather's side of the family is very Catholic) at a school called Ludgerusweek in Hilversum, Netherlands.

How cool is that?!?
