that we ^(you) decided on – the house will be larger, than we cal-

culated, – and if the northwest corner then reaches almost down

to the dance circle’s upper wall – then the moraine and trees will come

under the house – and make it difficult to move the rocks without

the task taking too long. From above we would admittedly run

into the large moraine facing west, but that doesn’t matter

so much, I don’t think. Well more about this later. – You shall

or course not pay for “The Fisherman” for the director of fisheries,

but I thought that perhaps, we might try to find a

better print for him, – but it will be too late for Christmas. I

would also like to print something for you as well for Christmas, – but did

not know what. Won’t you be so kind as to tell me, what you

would prefer to have! – I thought of “the mountain grazing farm”, but I don’t

know whether you actually liked it. I have now obtained better paper,

so I can perhaps make it better. Send me a record

of what you have of my woodcuts, – so that I see, what you don’t

have. I am just now in the process of making some prints for Hoskildsen

“March atmosphere” “moonlight” and a new one from Africa – I have

promised him something once before – and will try to keep my word, even though

the man is not much to my liking. Received a letter from ^him– but

not a word about my letter from this summer – or about what I asked about then.

Well you must forgive my scribbles and to you and your <entire>

household our best wishes for a “Merry Christmas”!
