Gleams of humor in Moltky letter to family

Excerpts from a Von Moltky letter to Lena reveal complaints of poor appetite after meals and general weariness as evening approaches. The piece references a sister’s concern, the cost of Egyptian cigarettes, and a humorous exchange at an express office about old letters and their value. The Chicago Tribune note adds a payment‑driven mood in a crowd of promise case filing.

Ancient Japanese burial custom and tsuchi mingio clay figures

The text recounts a historic Japanese practice of living burial linked to Emperor Suinin and later edicts prohibiting this custom, noting the clay substitutes tsuchi mingio for human sacrifices and their possible exposure on ground. It also mentions related notes on the Prussian knout and other customs and regional name changes.
