able pictures that I have, the ones that are unsellable I

shall on the other hand set a price so low

that Asor Hansen will suffer heart palpitations

when considering the possibility, that one of

them might be sold. I shall in other words

have a couple of my "prettiest" pictures

in a price range of one hundred to 150 kroner. Do

you think, that you could obtain a buyer

for me, who could purchase a picture on the first

day the exhibition opened preferably by one of

the city’s celebrated men; for no lousy newspaper

hound would dare to howl when one of the city’s matador’s

buys something, they dare not proclaim that

such a notability had bad taste, instead they

wag their tails a bit and let fall

a few crumbs of recognition. I have

engaged in feuds so often with the Bergen art

critics, that I can expect just about anything[.]

Well I hope I hear from you soon[.]

Your devoted friend
