Kjere Onkel Axel.

Hermed sender jeg Døds attest som forlangt  jeg maate gaa til en an by for den, da mor og jeg har begge veret daarlig. kunde jeg ikke gaa før.

du ved John vilde du skulde styre med dette. saa nu gjør du vad han sa. han bad ikke Ole om at gjøre dete.  Mor vil intet ha med Ole og gjøre.

Mor hade ret til at vide hvormeget var I banken. men du svarte ikke paa det.  Haaber nu at det blir slut paa tøisen. som om john vilde si

Det er for galt at dise strømperne Florence sente til Herborg ikke kom fram.  Florence flytter idag.  Hun er bare daarlig. og kunde ikke staa ut paa pladsen hun var paa.

her er nu ualmindelig varmt veir alerede. ikke noget regn veir ennu

Hilsen til dere ale.

Du kan si Laura at jeg skal skrive til hende. men ret nu er det for meget paa hand at gjøre.  jeg er gla hun fik foton. har faat tak fra 3 som fik. af same.

Hilsen fra mor og Alma

Dear Uncle Axel.

With this I’m sending the Death certificate as demanded  I had to go to another town for it. as mother and I have both been unwell. I couldn’t go before.

you know John wanted you to take care of this. so you do what he said now. he did not ask Ole to do this.  Mother wants nothing to do with Ole.

Mother had the right to know how much was in the bank. but you did not reply to that.  I hope there will be an end to the nonsense now. as john would have said

It’s too bad that these stockings Florence sent to Herborg didn’t get there.  Florence is moving today.  She’s sick all the time. and couldn’t handle the place she was at.

we’re having an unusually warm weather already. no rain yet

Regards to you all.

You can tell Laura that I’ll write to her. but right now there’s too much at hand to do. I’m glad she got the photos. Have received thank you’s from 3 who got. of same.

Regards from mother and Alma
