Klotzkopp Korrespondence, the letters of Joe Klotzkopp, Esq.

One scrapbook containing letters written by John A. Rittinger, newspaper editor, under the pseudonym "Joe Klotzkopp, supposedly a farmer in Bruce County. As Joe Klotzkopp he wrote many humorous letters to German-language dailies in the Pennsylvania-German dialect. According to the immediate donor this is the only complete collection of the "Klotzkopp Letters"as apparently not all of these appear in the translations by Herbert Kalbfleisch entitled "The Letters of Joe Klotzkopp, Esq." However, Rittinger supposedly invented Joe Klotzkopp ca. 1890, and the clippings in this scrapbook date from 1907 at the earliest. Later dates are also pencilled in so possibly Record reprinted these letters in 1924 - 1925. The scrapbook consists of original news clippings pasted into a scrapbook, and a published translation is already held in the Rare Book Room in H0748. Also present is a selection of Klotzkopp letters re-printed in the Record in 1967.
