Scope and Content

From what Nina Grieg writes in this letter to Anna Brodsky, we understand that Anna Brodsky has been in Nancy with her sister Olga Picard who has been ill or has faced some misfortune, while Adolph Brodsky has been in Paris with "der stumme fisch", Leon, Olga's son, whom Nina recalls crawling on the floor in Leipzig. Over Christmas at the Bjornsons, Edvard over-indulged in rich food and champagne and was ill again. He is now having massage and has cancelled all engagements. Nina regrets that Busoni is going to America. Dated 23 Jan 1904.
