Sandalstrand 4 Sept. 1922.

Dear Kinck!

Well, it has been a long time since you have heard anything from me, –

I have been to Bergen, you see, and worked a little

in order to get hold of a few shillings, – while I have debts

in a hundred places, which I have gone to great trouble

to pay off before the journey – and a multitude

of other things that have to be seen to on the farm (with farmhands,

who will have to do all kinds of work, while I am away – and

the materials for these jobs etc.) – Well, this was a bor-

ing introduction and a poor excuse: – Thank you

so much dear Kinck for the pleasant times this summer, – and

for being willing to live here under such miserable conditions, – and thank you

kind of you, – say hello to your wife and daughters with many thanks

from me, – you found the very thing that would give me

pleasure, – I have been enjoying it immensely, – and my wife as well, – for

several days now; – I have read it as well by now, – but it is

the illustrations in particular; which are excellently reproduced, –

that make the book so valuable to me, – as far as the text

is concerned, there are some obvious mistakes – I think, – in the

sense of small errors – inaccuracies when specifying galleries
