An undated letter and transcription from "Havre Dalen I America" to Vetlesen's brother Anond, other family members and friends. The writer came to Koshkonong, Wisconsin, in 1842. He described the journey from Norway via New York, Albany, Buffalo, and Milwaukee. Despite the early deaths of two daughters and his own severe attack of ague, he expressed content with his move to America.
