<p class=–MsoNormal–>&nbsp;</p>
<p class=–MsoNormal–>STJ&Oslash;RDAL 15-4-48</p>
<p class=–MsoNormal–>Dear all of you:</p>
<p class=–MsoNormal–>Thank you for the pictures of Johan, it was a bit unfamiliar to us, that he was lying with his suit on in the coffin, that&rsquo;s not used here, Just think now he&rsquo;s in glory and has met his saviour in whom he believed here and possibly he has met my Helga and they&rsquo;re doing fine, where there&rsquo;s no pain or need<span>&nbsp; </span>only joy and happiness, just Think what a day when we go there.<span>&nbsp; </span>I&rsquo;ve just been to Selbu for over a week<span>&nbsp; </span>walked around to people&rsquo;s homes collecting contributions to the Blad mission<span>&nbsp; </span>people are generous and good, towards those who are suffering and in need.<span>&nbsp; </span>I asked several about a butter mould but none of them had more than one so I didn&rsquo;t get one this time, There&rsquo;s supposed to be someone who makes these in Tydal but that&rsquo;s 12 miles (Norwegian) further up in the mountain so I didn&rsquo;t get that far this time, will try later.</p>
<p class=–MsoNormal–>We&rsquo;re starting to see signs of spring here now, it&rsquo;s sprouting and growing<span>&nbsp; </span>may there be spring in the world of the spirit with life and the fear of God.<span>&nbsp; </span>Herborg is now going to work at a store in Levanger for a while so now the old one will be alone.<span>&nbsp; </span></p>
<p class=–MsoNormal–>Ola wrote to you on the 9<sup>th</sup> of March about this money that Johan has sent to us.<span>&nbsp; </span>Norges bank is holding back <em>(he uses the word &ldquo;tr&oslash;vle&rdquo; which I&rsquo;ve never heard before so I&rsquo;m just guessing at the meaning)</em> and wont pay it out without it going through legation the (Norwegian one)<span>&nbsp; </span>We&rsquo;d rather not have that happen, as we fear all kinds of taxes will be taken from the amount and it wasn&rsquo;t Johan&rsquo;s intention to have it eaten up by such.<span>&nbsp; </span>Then we thought that if you sent us proof that you waive your right to this money the bank can&rsquo;t do anything but give them out.<span>&nbsp; </span>It has <span style=–text-decoration: underline;–>nothing</span> to do with the estate as it&rsquo;s a gift to his siblings.<span>&nbsp; </span>Hanna has apparently bought herself something for her Golden anniversary for her share as far as we understand from a letter from them so if you can and are willing to help me sort this out with the least possible trouble and noise it would be nice.<span>&nbsp; </span>Because it&rsquo;s me who have and have had the book for safekeeping.<span>&nbsp; </span>So if it falls through due perhaps to the Bank being difficult it would be sad for us maybe especially for Laura who&rsquo;s now darning socks for military people.<span>&nbsp; </span>I&rsquo;m the one who must take responsibility for this.<span>&nbsp; </span>I never imagined that the bank would hinder us in withdrawing a gift from our own brother, Well I guess Ola has written to you about this.<span>&nbsp; </span>In the hope of hearing from you soon and wishing a satisfying reply, we send our best wishes and thanks to you all from us here</p>
<p class=–MsoNormal–>Best wishes Axel Holm</p></div>
