My dear Georgie.
Thanks to August for his
belerne letter af March 6th received
this morning. It was pleasant
to hear you were all well and
happy as usual. It is rathe late
at night to commence a letter, it
it half past 10 p.m. But Papas long
letter jo August he wants to get off
to morrow morning. Yesterday Mr
Amundsen got two packages to take
along to New York and bring you. They
contain different little things. I thought
af hat I should make for the children,
and came to the conclution that you
would think et god to get some help
with your spring-sering as your
time mostly must be taken up by
taking care of the children.
NB. Otto Amundsen.

So I made 5 dresses and 6 pairs of drawers,
6 underwaists, and a sample af
aprons, Tell me hos you ikke
the different things. The things
are made rather large, but they
will wear so much longer than
bought "ready made" articles, so you
must put som tucks on the
dresses yourself, if they are too
long. I thought it best for yourself
to make the Lecks so you can make
the things fit better than I could
hen dont know the exact sige
af the lette ones. You will see the
streng om the wrong side af the dresses-
the streng you pull os for os you
think makes the right with about
the waist. Of course you will find i
and August tos, like to get something
sit by losking at it. I know you,
from old Norway. It is pleasant
to know it is måde so for avan-
en August's old home. My sewing

machine runs splendidly, so it
is only a pleasure to me to make
things for dear little Alice and
Madeline. From Caroline you
will find å silver spoon to Made-
line. Jenny sends something
"en Spegefjel", which is måde
from i large tree (outside), in the
garden. "The thing" is to have on
your table and cut your bread
on. It will last your ligetime,
and can be scoured with sand
and soap (water not to forget) to be kept white and clean.
Caroline and Jenny have
both been here earlier in the
day. Jenny and I called on Caroline
at teatime. We are all well and
as we have 3 different homes, me-
do much calling at one another.
We all miss the baby so very much.
I have often letter from Stella
Stokes Reen. Ske is well but Tom,
her second boy, is far from well,

he got the mumps, after that the
tyfoid fever, end Stella fears, he will
run into consumption. Charlie, the
oldest boy, is in Texas intending to
be a mestern Cattle-business-man.

I take still music lessons, which make
me practise more than I otherwise

would, and learn many new pieces of
music. The teaching mostly amounts
to "polish" and "touch", and I like it
very much. I suppose you don't play
much now. Off and on you must play
a little as you will forget what you
knew, and the little girls will love to
have you play by and by. How I wish

I hope you have received the letter
in which we tell, Papa received
the New-York photographs, - also the
letter to Fanny Fargo in which one
to you with thanks for Madeline's
picture. It is standing on the
piano vi a frame opposite Alice's.
I must say they are two fine babies
You think it funny perhaps that
I made "drawers" and sent so far.
The undergarments I in America bought ready
made are all (have been) short-lasting though
finer to look at in the beginning, but
what I made myself of the strongest
material last for years. And anybody
with litte tales think it ne to get

some fancy articles, they can be without
What do you think on the subject?
Have you got å seing-machine?
know you bad om at høre, bet have
you any of your own? But you are
no doubt so much at your old home,
so it makes no difference, where
the machine stands. You can use it,

Where it is. Kelley Avenue must look
different now with the new houses on.
I guess it looks very nice, and much
better to have such nice houses put up
og Mr Burns than risk to get some
shanties put up in time alongside
your home. Indeed you can be glad
you own a house instad af moving
about and pay rent every month.
Does not Mr. Debrunner think of building
a home? Give Mrs D. and all af them

Caroline, Signe (Mrs H.) and Jenny
and I sat together pleasantly at
Carolines house drinking chocolate etc.
C. and S. were both expecting their
babies, and they did not like to have
that in prospect. Signe thought, she surely
vold get om more boy, and both she
and Carol were out of humor. They
both got through the confinement sel-
