Øgelstrup den 18de Nov: 1831

Min Broder Ole har nu lykkeligen overstridet sin Haardhed[1] i Kjøbenhavn:
han er bleven fri for Tjenesten, og faaet en Condition, hvor han skal have
100 Rbd. I Løn et Aar – saameget kan jeg ikke tjene i 10 – Maaske der kan
blive Haab om, at han kan hjelpe mig med Penge til Seminarieskolen, hvem kan
vide det.



My brother Ole has now fortunately overcome his difficulties in Copenhagen:
he has been released from his military service and received a position where
he will get 100 Rbd. in salary a year - that much I cannot earn in 10 –
Perhaps there can be hope that he can help me with money for teacher's
college, who can know.

Det var et halft Kæmpearbeide jeg havde med at ophøie de 2 nederste
Qvarterer i Nederhaven; jeg kjørte uafladelig i 4re Dage henimod 200
Støvtefulde[2] derind af den fine Jord af Jordmøddingen vesten for Haven.
Det kan kjendes naar jeg kommer herfra. Madammen lovede mig ogsaa et Par
Hoser derfor.



It was a half giant job I had with raising the 2 lowest quarters in the
lower-garden; for 4 days without stopping I drove nearly 200 wheelbarrow
loads into it of the fine earth from the earth dunghill west of the garden.
It can be recognized when I come from here. Madam also promised me a pair of
stockings for it.
