Mr Roald Amundsen
Grand Hotel, Oslo.
If, contrary to expectations, you happen to have Wednesday evening free, you would make my wife and me very happy by coming to us for a completely informal evening at 8.
Riiser-Larsen and Dietrichson are coming with their wives, and likewise, some of my friends are coming from Norsk Tindeklub, including C.W. Rubenson, whose ascents in the Himalayas you may have heard about, and Eilert Sundt, who a short time ago made the first winter ascent of Acconcagua.
Best wishes,
Sincerely yours Alf B Bryn [by hand]
