Scope and Content

Nina has just celebrated her seventieth birthday and received 200 telgrams, half as many letters and many presents including an epergne from 50 ladies in Kristiania, for all of which Nina has had to write thanks. The day was spent quietly at Fuglsang with Badil Neergard. She refused a festival in her honour in Kopenhagen. Friends came over for the day and night to Lolland from Kopenhagen and there was music in the evening. Nina played Edvard's C minor sonata with a Danish violinist, Miss Breuning Storm. Nina mentions how gifted Edvard believed Delius to be. He and his wife came to Troldhaugen last summer. Dated 12 Dec 1915.
