Transcription
About 7 o'clock I was out wallowing around in the deep snow looking for a convenience to which I was conducted in the governor's house. Then I was sum- mmoned into the main house, where I met the governor himself, a hospita- ble, genial young man by the name of Olsen. Bistrup is now at Kittery. Olsen had been housed by the ar-rival of the mail, he being postmast-er go. Some letters for the 'Bureau' course but more for any C.L.E. men- Three weeks or more late in getting here. At 9 o'clock I went over to the inspector's house and received a cordial welcome from Mr. Lindow. He invited me to come to his home and here I am, installed us Green and Allen were a year ago. But I expect to divide my time, spending part of it with the governor and part with Mr. Pissell. Mrs Lindow too is very cordial, for she is expecting to become a mother again in the course of a few weeks. Godhavn is buried under three feet of snow and the season is very late after an unusually open winter. 'Hans Eyde' I was late in reaching Holstensborg and will be correspondingly late in getting her probably not before 1 July on her second trip. U.S.A. is in the war & who knows what may happen?
