incidentally go out there shortly (before the postman returns)

and take an approximate measurement, – you can then make the pipe

a couple of inches longer – (I will by the way also take a

“generous measurement”), then we can later easily “cut”

off, whatever is too long, so that it fits just right. –––

Thank you for the linoleum commission, – (it will be

specifically for linoleum prints), – I will test it shortly,

but the dimensions were a bit small, – I thought.

Ask Didr. Andersen to send me a glass diamond,

since a couple of the glass panes were measured incorrectly

(by me and Knùt Pedersen); – a diamond we have great use

for in the house, panes are constantly being broken, and we are forced to live with

drafts and cold and wind for months, because the mer-

chants here either lack glass or cannot cut

the right measurement and so on. – we have several such incorrectly cut

panes lying about, which are merely broken or gone to waste.

If I were to obtain glass in suitably large formats from Didr. An-

dersen, I would cut them myself, because common glass is

easy enough to cut, – More often than not I have to travel to

the merchants and cut it myself anyway, when it

has to be correct, though the “double” panes I have never

tried, but I can try. Oh dear, the postman is here!

Live well! Greetings to Aagot and

the children from Your

P.S. The postman passed me again on his route – he promised to wait

in Sandal until I get the measurement. It is approx. 1.80 m. ^{from the floor to the opening in the firewall}Make

one pipe fit into the other, then it can be adjusted precisely when

being installed! Greetings from your kitchen here, where I am writing

on a cutting board. Best wishes your Astrup
