Dear Mr. Hansen,
I hate to write to let you know that I do not
in any way mean to belittle the culture of the Middle
West, anything but we do nothing else but stick up
for the crude and agricultural middle west and try to
make people admit that it exists outside of buffalo stories
and Indians. But I still think that the Norwegian culture
they have is what they brought with them, not as yet much
flavored with the modern Norwegian ideas and all the rest,
which may or may not be a loss. You see in Norway I so
often noticed that when people told me of customs that had
been carried on by their parents, they were just the things
that we held up as typical of Norwegian culture and customs
of today. In reality we in the middle west are carrying
on and preserving customs and traditions which were common when
our grandparents came over. And that is a good thing, because
so much of that has been lost in Norway already.
By all means, greet Conrad when you write to him again.
I am glad that he is doing so well, not that that comes as
any surprise. He naturally would do well.
Yours, for the Middle West, what was it one of the Times
writers called it, "The hotbed of Nordie Culture?"
Best regards
Dikka Bortne
