Stockholm 18.10 1946
Mrs. Doctor Svea Hulth
In response to your card, I am sending, as you can see, a watercolour drawing, which is probably within a suitable price range for you, and I can sell it in this case for 125 kronor.
It will be your task to figure out what the melancholic street ... the task is not ...
I still believe they were ... from ... into the deepest corner, but I miss the free outlook horizon, even though I now see the sun shining in through the southern window and gilding life indoors.
In the event that the small painting does not meet your expectations, you may return it; however, in that case, I cannot offer you anything else at that price.
Best regards,
Gösta Adrian Nilsson
