Description

Three lined sheets from a tear-off notepad (22.7 x 22 cm), each inscribed on both sides in pencil. Euphoric following the letter received the previous day, he again thanks her “above all for the cigarettes.”, sympathises with her “that such difficulties are being made for you regarding the financial matter [..] in order to prevent the divorce.”. He doubts whether her lawyer “is energetic enough.”, poses numerous questions concerning the financial circumstances of Nils and the family von Kantzow, “what about the document where N. wrote that you should, if he inherits, have half, even if he is divorced. [..] is that also with the lawyer?”, “When is the earliest we can marry? Have you asked the lawyer?”, “What does she (note: Carin's Mother) have against you?”, “Erik (note: Carin's brother-in-law) should not be so arrogant [..] remind him of his 'legally punishable' attempts at rape.” and at the end he makes seven suggestions with price estimates for how the “stuga” (their shared cottage) should be fitted out for the Winter, for example “In the study there must be a small, handsome tiled stove (approximately 600–800 Mark)” or “A small, convenient stone annexe is to be built onto the pantry for provisions (200 M.) – All together approximately 3000 Mark = 160 Kronen.”. He closes with “Take all my ardent kisses over your entire self in burning love and eternal faithfulness, forever yours H.” with the underlined addition “And write daily.” Folded twice, unnumbered.
