Account of a voyage to Greenland on board a trawler.
3 ½ pages. Blue ink.
"Forty days, on the large trawler "Ville de Fécamp", I had cruised one summer off West Greenland between Cape Farewell... and Disko Island". He appreciated these places even if "the dream of Greenlandic summer nights does not have the tenderness of those of the Stockholm archipelago".
