Letters from America
Erland Nilsson has collected some letters which were sent
back to Sweden from America. Some are in English, some are
in Swedish and some are English with some Swedish words.
Erland has provided English translations of the Swedish.
The language is often rustic and the grammar is uncertain,
both in English and (apparently) in Swedish.
I have broken the letters into individual files so
that they can be easily viewed in a web browser.
