But I had to pay ca. 90€ (in advance) to get those digital scans. And I wrote in German...(Although I think they should understand requests in English.)
PS: As you consider to make use of them - a "thanks for sharing the research" or so would have made me happy.

Wow - that fee is far more than I am use to paying. Some archives charge as little as $10 per photo. A few even allow publication with no fees attached at all. I will have to find different images to use. Perhaps I can use a photograph of one of the boarding houses in Chicago instead.

I did write my request in English. I studied German in high school but do not remember enough to write a decent sentence.
