The example I had of this letterhead was especially messy with text I had to remove. In particular, the letterwriter was writing from Geneva, so had crossed out “Bern” and written “Geneve” above it. My restoration of the “Bern” is particularly clumsy, but you get the idea of how this letterhead should look, I hope.

This just goes to show what happens when you try to mix two or three languages in a single country: Chaos!
There is a perfectly good German word for office: Büro. But apparently it was not good enough for the Swiss Mission. Or maybe someone fell asleep at the switch. Or maybe that’s a Swiss attempt at language ecumenism.
