If I knew, which prints Wefring purchased ^{and more or less what period} and for

what prices, then it would be easier for me

to unravel this mystery – I shall also have

the postal records examined further back than May – until now

I have only investigated that far back; – unfortunately

only the origin (place) is listed in the postal records – not the ~~person’s~~

the name of the sender – perhaps via the postal records

in Bergen one might find out what both Thesen

and Wefring have sent – I have in my

recollection previously mixed these two names together

When I ~~specify~~ ^take^have the day of arrival here of the various

amounts – I can by calculating 2^-3 days back in time

find out, when they were sent from Bergen and by

submitting the dispatch date to Bergen’s post office,

one should be able to reveal, from whom the money was

sent. Perhaps it is best to let everything

rest until the situation has become clearer. If the 150 kr.

are from Vefring, then Thesen has sent nothing since last

winter (~~before~~ ^since the month of May), and if Thesen has sent

the 150 kr., then Vefring has not sent anything since May.

But I am becoming confused now – I recollect that

You wrote to me last year around Christmastime, that in order to obtain

money for me for Christmas You had sold something a little more cheaply, –

whether it was to Vefring or Thesen I do not recollect, but

believe it was ^to Thesen – and in that case he should have

paid something already then. Well this becomes more and more

complicated. It is best I cease now and not both-

er You any more. My warmest greetings to Miss Inger, ^and Your husband. Engel sends her

warmest greetings to Miss Inger. Your devoted Astrup
