This plot of land was at the same place as the lots where all the de Haan houses were. The original houses have been torn down, but the lots were just above the church in Noorderkolonie (map Northern Netherlands, pg. 71 or 57, coordinates 259, 562.)
Ulpen de Haan and Geertje Starke wrote a letter (from Nieuwe Pekela, dated 20 Oct 1918) to their son-in-law Ulpen. They congratulate him and his wife Afina de Haan with his birthday. Ulpen tells about his work, Geertje about the Spanish Flu, which has claimed a number of friends. Hendrik, a nephew, is gravely ill in the hospital in Groningen. She hopes the war will end soon. Sister Grietje also adds her congratulations.8
