it – I have no obligations towards Meyer – admit-

tedly he had just sold one of my pictures

to Joh. Ludv. Movinckel with a 200 kr. profit and

will send me these 200, (when he receives the picture presumably)

have to pay well for, – I have considered 3000, – do you

think I am brazen? I am not well these days and have

had a couple of seizures again – accompanied Kaland to Vasenden

and rowed excessively perhaps. Kaland was very “gracious”

this time – talked quite engagingly about Krantz and his

intrigues against me; – but I’m sure he understood, that I was cool towards

him. He was very enthusiastic about my “left leaning” and

thought I was headed towards a new “heyday”. Well then may you

and your family live well! With Best wishes your devoted Astrup
