Letter from
Greta to Lydia
27/3 1919
My dearest
Mother
Many thanks
for mother's letter ! Mom writes therein as a decided thing that we will see
each other this summer. It also thought so but Chris says no, we will not be
able to get passport this year, but certainly next year. It's an awfully long
time to wait , but a year goes quick . What I wrote in my last letter about the amenities and food etc. I really meant at the hotel and not at ma . If it
sounded so I ask sincerely for forgiveness. I also ask for forgiveness if I let mom understand
that it was decided that we would come home. No one could be more sorry than I
am. I am really longing to see mom ,
Anna and little Cajsa again , no one can imagine.
After I had
The Spanish flu I'm so nervous, I who
always tend to be so completely calm . But I try to overcome it . It is a
chilling feel.
Today,
Kerstin travelled from here to become a nurse to a doctor Wheeler in Clifton
Forge. Va.
Only 30 English mil from here . He is a surgeon and she'll have to help him with
his operations, a very responsible place wich I certainly think she can fill. Her new
address: K. Lindman
, co
Hospital Clifton Forge , Va . USA
Yesterday
she went dancing with some friends and had a lot of fun . She is very well
liked by everyone here so if she does not like it in CF she can get a job here.
But there was not any work here for 6 weeks, and when Dr. Wheeler rang she promised
to get there and it is a work all year round . 75 dollars a month and we can
visit her.
I hope mom
is now completely restored. We are all healthy. Margeret is a little ray of
sunshine , playing and smiles all the time.
Now do not
be sad at me anymore. Will write again soon.
Give my
love to sisters
Mammas
affectionate Greta
Chris and
Bob 's gives their love
