We should take a trip there in the spring and look at

the one ^{in Sögnesand}; – but it is a long way and a long transport, –

you will not get hold of it as cheaply, as you

might have got the house in Strand, –

and it would have been convenient to have it transported now

during the winter, – so that one might have it

erected in the spring. – Well now we must not

let the old house in Sögnesand

get away from us, – if you do not want to have it, –

then I do. – You must come here in the spring.

Well we will see each other soon and can talk

more about this and more. We are probably leaving

around 15^th Dec. The route will be

via Cologne and on short day trips along the Rhine – from there

to Vienna, – then to Italy and further to the Riviera

Marseille and Barcelona – Taragona – Valencia and

perhaps the Balearic islands – then to Madrid and southward

to Granada and Seville and Malaga and Cadiz (Europe’s oldest city)

Perhaps across to Africa – Live well! See you soon! Best wishes! Your Astrup
