which I do not forward at once, as I expect there will be some more telegraphing.
I go away this day to Tasmania, but Mr Rasmus Parelius, who will act as Consul for
Sweden and Norway during my absence, will immediately forward to Sweden any message
that the Committee transmits to the Consulate, and in every respect do what I could
have done myself.
I remain, Gentlemen,
yours very respectfully
H. Gundersen
