Abstract

Lund writes that he has arrived safely in Copenhagen. He explains that a written authorization is necessary if Thorvaldsen’s things are to be released from the estate after the late professor Nicolai Abildgaard. Thorvaldsen can just give the authorization to C.G. Kratzenstein Stub, whom Lund will write soon. He mentions that he has received Christian Daniel Rauch’s letter and sends greetings to all his friends in Rome.

Jeg benytter denne Leilighed, at sige Dem, at vi har lykkelig tilbagelagt Reisen hertil. Mig angaaende kan jeg endnu inte sige Dem noget bestemmt, men imidlertid haaber jeg alting skal gaae godt. – For at kunde faae Deres Kaabbere og andre Sager som staaer hos Frue Abildgaard, og som Frue Brun siger ogsaa hos Hr. West, vil det vel være nødvendigt at faae en skriftelig Fuldmagt fra Dem, og derom beder jeg Dem, at De vilde have den Godhed at sende mig den, so snart som muelig, giv den bar til Stub, saa faaer jeg den sikkert. – I næste Uge skriver jeg maaskee til Stub. Rauchs Brev har jeg faaet. – Lev vel, og vær hilset fra mig paa det venskabeligste. Hils alle vor Venner i Rom fra Deres Ven JLLund

I seize this opportunity to tell you that we have happily finished our journey to this place. As regards me, I cannot tell you anything definite, but I hope that all will go well. – In order to get your copperplate engravings and other things, which are at Mrs Abildgaard’s place and which Mrs Brun also says are at Mr West’s, it will be necessary to get a written authority from you, and this is what I ask of you that you will be so kind as to send it to me as soon as possible; you can just give it to Stub, then I am sure to get it. – Next week I shall perhaps write to Stub. I have received Rauch’s letter. – All the best, and sincere regards from me. Remember your friend J.L. Lund to all our friends in Rome.
