that reason, I have not been able to

drive the timber up

to the cabin, so that we might have a look

use it to build a dwelling – ; there

is a somewhat larger house, which I have

looked at, but it might be a bit

expensive, – exclusive materials; – we

will wait, until you can make a trip here

and look at it, – it is a house, which you

in any event would be able to get your money back

on, if you wish to sell the lot later, –

it is situated in Grovaa 15 kilometres from here.

We have reserved 2 cured hams from 2 dif-

ferent pigs, which are “fed” exclusively on

oats, and here we consider that best for pork

(better than ours). You can try both

hams and take the one that you like best. Then

we will take the other. Or if you like

you can have both. Forgive my gibberish. Thank you

for everything. Greetings and thanks from Engel and all the child-

ren. With best wishes ^toyour wife Your N. Astrup
