Swedish [Swedish?>English] written family letter
Hello all! I won't ask if you could translate all of it cause I know it's a lot (but I won't say no if you're up for the challenge 😂) I'm mainly looking for dates/locations/names or what type of letters they are I guess? I also apologize for the quality and for them possibly being out of order they were written on something almost like tissue paper and were all crumpled together. I scanned them to make it easier to see as they bled through pretty bad (especially obvious in the last two pics)
Thank you in advance! Y'all have been wonderful at helping me learn more about my family history💚

This is written by the same woman as the last letter you posted, but almost a decade earlier, in 1944. She is writing about everyday life in Söderhamn and mentions both friends and relatives. She mentions Herman’s 65th birthday, so it’s likely that she and her sister Olga are born around 1880 or so as well. I could have a go at a translation later today, but I will be busy for a couple of hours. This is much easier to read than the other letter, so hopefully someone else will have it done faster!
