Could someone translate this please.

I have had this letter for sometime and dates back to 1909 (post mark), The first part I assume German but the second half of the letter seems to be in another language.

Since I don't know what either says I would really appreciate it if someone could translate it, both or part.

Many thanks,
Reece.

I think the first part has to do with someone claiming to be an out of work gypsy circus performer wanting to smuggle Llamas out of the country. He hints his desire to find someone that can supply false documents and disguises for the Llamas.

Not sure what the second half is, that's a tough one.

That is weird!!

I'll translates:

Dear snoogums (Reece?),

Great news, I found out the medical tests were negative, but I still have a rash. The priest said he had no problems with "your condition", but you may want to pay him some extra money for the marrage endorsement, as the church usually dosn't approve of such actions. My parents are still pretty upset, but as long as you pay child support, my father won't kill you. All the best.

Your luv wallaby.

The second language looks like Greek. That's about all I can help there.

The first handwriting is called Sütterlin. I doubt you will find a lot of people who can still read it. I surely can't.

The second looks Greek indeed.
