Frieda’s 1923 Diary and Photo. Handwritten inscription under photo reads: “I took these pictures on the roof of our new office at 25 So. William Street and think they will be a nice remembrance.” Frieda is the one on the left in the top photo.
The book dedicated to Frieda is a collection of holiday tales including “Johnny Delaney.”
This was the dedication in the original edition of the book. The German translation reads: “When one door closes another door opens.”
