Øgelstrup den 23de Apr: 1832.

Lykkelig har jeg ogsaa denne Vinter overstaæt, og mine Børn stode sig ogsaa
bedre iaar ved Examen end sædvanlig.



Øgelstrup, April 23, 1832

Happily I have also gotten through this winter and my children’s standing in
the examination this year is also better than usual.



-------------------------



Trine kommer til at staae øverst paa Confirmationssøndagen; men jeg er
bange, at hun efter den Tid vil blive slem til at holde sig efter
Avlskarlen; thi hun vilde ingen anden ret vel rykkes[1] med i Vinter nede i
Folkestuen; men hun kom ogsaa hver Aften og hængte paa, enten paa een eller
en anden Maade. Det var ellers Synd, hun skulde have en Bonde. Gid hun dog
aldrig skulde komme til at ligne hendes Moder i Sindelauget.



Trine ends up standing at the top on Confirmation Sunday, but I am afraid
that from now on she will become impossible to keep away from the head
farmhand because she was interested in being with no one else in the winter
down in the servant’s hall, but she came every night and hung on to him,
either one way or another. It is generally a pity she would have a peasant.
If only, however, she never ends up resembling her mother in temperament.

Chr: Hansen kommer her nu mere sjeldent, og det kommer af, at der er lidt
Splid imellem Jepsen og hans Fader om Skolevæsenet. Jepsen har klaget over
at han giver formeget i Forhold til Forpagteren - saaledes kaldes han fordi
han har været Forpagter paa Wosborg.



Chr. Hansen now comes here quite rarely and it appears that there is a
little animosity between Jepsen and his father about the educational system.
Jepsen has complained that he pays too much in comparison to the tenants –
he says this because he has been a tenant at Vosborg.



-------------------------



Jeg har skrevet en Stiil om, hvad skadelige Følger Lediggang har for
Mennesket, og den troer jeg sikkert er god; det har alle de, der har hørt
den, sagt, baade Jepsen og Karlene - Pigerne forstaæ sig ikke paa saadan
noget - det bliver vist aldrig saa vanskelig med den Ting.



I have written an essay about what harmful consequences idleness has for
man, and I certainly think that it is good, that is what everyone who has
heard it has said, both Jepsen and the farmhands – the girls do not
understand such things – it is, I suppose, never so difficult with this
thing.

Christian Juul har skrevet [til] mig - fra Skive af - at han lever godt, og
er vred fordi han ikke har hørt noget fra mig; han sætter et Brev daarlig
nok sammen, og skriver utydelig.



Christian Juul has written to me – from Skive - that he lives well and is
angry because he has not heard anything from me; he prints a letter poorly
and writes indistinctly.
