Archivist looking for translation assistance

​

Over the past week I’ve been processing a collection of letters addressed to Carl and Martha Lufkin of Livermore Falls, Maine c. 1915. I had been told that Carl was a German immigrant, an assumption reinforced by a letter from Berlin, but researching on that basis I struggled to find basically any information about the guy. Turns out he’s a native Mainer going back at least five generations, Martha is from Philadelphia, and I’m left wondering what this letter from Berlin is doing here. This collection has already stumped me once with a batch of documents which were in Polish, from a source who lived a few towns over but seemingly has no connection to Lufkin beyond that. I can tell that there’s Something here, but the only thing I have to go on is this letter I can’t read. The other letters in the collection are General Correspondence with friends in Portland, basically just talking about the weather, and I don’t expect this to be much different. I don’t necessarily need a full translation/transcription, but if anyone here could give me a summary of this letter’s contents it would be a huge help.

Thanks!
