occurred unexpectedly – so I did not think twice about it –

but allowed bile and rage to take the upper hand – and immediately

wrote ~~{…}~~ a reply and lashed out at them

– perhaps a bit more extremely than necessary –

but dear god, do not mention this in Bergen!

I am a little irritated about the letter, – not because

I regret that I gave them such a scolding,

but because people cannot refrain from telling

me, what they have heard about the matter, and repeat

the impudent remarks, that are made about me, –

and I would preferably not hear again – preferably

forget about the persons and the matter – so that I would not

have to think about it, for I am too nervous to

tolerate it in the long run, they are welcome to talk

about me, if only I did not have to hear it myself. –

If You correspond with Henrik Lùnd then

perhaps You would be so kind as to ask him,

where in Copenhagen I should exhibit, but

he is perhaps offended with me, because I did not join

the exhibition in Berlin with the 6.

"Verdens Gang", which You Mrs. Höst were so kind

as to send – has not yet arrived here,
