Governor Anderson and all
Danish here very kind to
me. Stay with the Governor
tomorrow here. The ladies
look especially nice in their
european clothes and I feel
very dirty. Am to have a
bath and clean underclothes
before going to bed.
With less resolve than
than the two who come with
me from Atoe I could not
have come this today.
The travel was very good.
March x't 10
Sail at 9 o'clock for
Christianshops arrived at 6.
Traveled all way on land
except across Jakobshorns
ice fjord which is full of
ice bergs. Tomorrow go
towards Gjedserfjord.
Son Otto & wife very
hospitalable. There is no sea
ice whether this year or
for sledge travel the people
have ever known.
