Autograph letter signed from Nina Grieg to Anna Brodsky

Scope and Content

Nina thanks Anna for her last letter and for the precious friendship which Nina increasingly values. They have been in Norway for more than a month: first three weeks in Kristiania and now to take some sea baths. Later they intend to go to the mountains nearer to Bergen. A statue of Grieg is to be unveiled on 24 August: Nina has chosen the Norwegian artist [Ingebricht Vik] to do it [not Vigeland, whom Grieg disliked]. Nina expresses great sorrow that the world has suffering eveywhere. Dated 15 Jul 1917.
