Autograph letter signed from Nina Grieg to Anna Brodsky

Scope and Content

This letter may have been written in the winter of 1910, 1911 or 1913 when Nina wintered at the Hotel d'Angleterre in Kopenhagen. She should have written earlier but she had wanted to chat with Johanne Stockmarre [who sang at a concert in Manchester in October 1909] but she is always so busy. They did manage to speak on the telephone and Nina heard how the concert in Manchester went and how she had breakfasted at the Brodskys'. Nina remarks that the Brodskys have been at a masked ball and recalls a gaudy night in Rome when Edvard and Nina were very young. They will be going to Norway in 14 days but they will spend at least a week in Kristiania as it will be too cold at Troldhaugen. The first guests will be her three sisters-in-law. Tonny has been diligently studying Italian this winter.
