This letter was written by Gustav Klein dated 17th May 1918 to his grandson, William Gustav Klein.
" My grandfather and his father (three sons and three daughters) was born and brought up in Heligoland. They were owners of a fleet of brigs and schooners trading between England and the Baltic. Heligoland is an island at the mouth of the River Elba,and has been or rather had been for hundreds of years belonged to the Kingdom of Denmark.
After the battle of Trafalgar, England's sea-power was supreme and she made use of it at once by annexing most of the islands in the Mediterranean and other places. She also paid Denmark a visit bombarded Copenhagen on the second time(1807) and as Heligoland was strategically situated she sent a small man-o-war to hoist her flag and declare the little island British property and the people and the"Holens Volens" British subject. This was quick work and no doubt practical.
After 10 years my father and his two brothers left Heligoland and startedin business in Hull in Yorkshire as corn merchants under the name of "Baltic Corn Exchange". Father married a Heligoland lady in 1817,and settled in Hull but all his children were born in Bortsdorp, a small place in Heligoland. I was born in 1836 educated in Riga(Prussia) in 1852 and 1854; in the latter year I left for England where I filled the place of Foreign Correspondent in the Counting House of the Consul for Holland ( Mr Avernus) in Ramsgate(Eng). I left for Australia in 1857,landed in Victoria in 1857 and have never been there ever since.
I have never been in Germany in my life, but always spoke the German language like all people of Southern Denmark,and the Frisian Islands, in fact the people of this part are the "Angles" which named and founded England.
You see there is not a drop of German blood in me. Next your father.He was born at a place I called Little Yarra on the foot of the Gippsland Mountains 6th October 1863. His mother was a Miss Wade, daughter of Ltn. Wade R.N. in charge of the customs in the south of Ireland. He was stationed at Skibberim(Skibbereen). Her mother was a Miss Sullivant. (O'Sullivan) "
