I cannot help congratulating you, dear Minna, on this beautiful weather! — It has removed a mill-stone from my heart.
Nothing else occurred. — I have received a little money, and so can get away. I shall write you again, tho', first.
Farewell and keep your spirits up! I merely wanted to congratulate you, and tell you how delighted I am with the weather.
Thy Richel.
