2. A hearty greeting (Nels)

I must also write a few lines to you.

I have worked almost every day since I came here to America

so I am never free.

A worker can get along better here.

I am working in a factory

where we make billiard tables.

There are 700 men in the factory

so we make several hundred tables a day.

They do everything on a big scale here.

There are 3,000 Swedes here,

three Swedish churches, and many

Swedish lodges. That is good

because it goes slow to learn English.

We are too old. I wish I had been here

ten years sooner.
