I will say no more this time, and so farewell.
Most respectfully, OYVIND PLADSEN.
TO OYVIND THORESEN PLADSEN:-- The school-master has given me another letter from you, and I have just read it, but I do not understand it in the least, and that, I dare say, is because I am not learned.

You want to know how it is with me in every respect; and I am healthy and well, and there is nothing at all the matter with me.

I eat heartily, especially when I get milk porridge.

I sleep at night, and occasionally in the day-time too.

I have danced a great deal this winter, for there have been many parties here, and that has been very pleasant.
