Thursday 29 August 1839

6 35/..

12

fine morning F61° at 6 50/.. at Geffle [Gävle] pronounced (Yaweleh) – worst beds we have had – Plo a plough – ployé to low. (employ) dirtiest room and worst supper we have had considering that we had soup and salmon – ½ dozen good boiled eggs and bread and butter made up our meal – counting over money – out at 8 ½ in the town and timber yards along the waters side

1 tree 2 feet diameter where cut off = 220 yards

1 ditto 15 yards long 18 to 20 diameter and 12 in. at the small end appears by the circles aet. 200 years +

the tree seems to make most wood from the age of about 50 to 100?

1 tree 21 yards long 10 or 11in. diameter small end – 20 to 22 in. bottom end – two or three very good vessels on the stocks.

passed a large coarse cloth (sail cloth) weaving room 26 [pair] looms and passed a snuff manufactory – 8,000 inhabitants says Handbook and that is all the mention of Geffle [Gävle] – the sea comes into the heart of the town up to the bridges in the form of a good river about like the Thames at Richmond, which runs westward some distance and there branches from it a canal or two that seem to surround the town at least on the south side – the principal street seems north and south running thro’ the grands places and several other streets run east and west – good quais and the raff-yards and ship-building and warehouses full of deals run along the other side of the water – of deals outside saw

1 piece 9 yards long would square to two ft.

1 ditto 12.............. would square to 16in.

very little oak

came in at 11 am

SH:7/ML/TR/13/0015

August Thursday 29 breakfast at 11 5/.. good coffee for Sweden – off from Geffle [Gävle] (Yēfflĕh) at 12 25/.. – Good town – commerce in wood [gaudron] and transport of iron – 2 fabriques de tabat – one of sailcloth, and one of serviettes the largest trees says our horseman come from about a mile from Geffle [Gävle], a forest that belongs to the peasants – near Elfkerby [Älvkarleby]– - trees there 400 – 500 years old sold by the ell of length – if the trees large and good (clean – free from knots) sell for 2 ½ rigsgeld dollars per ell – if less in girth or not so free from knots = 2 rigs dollars per ell – and so on –

.:. the 2 large trees (vide the last page) might sell for (supposing the whole length to be 30 yards) 75 rigs dollars = 50DB. = between £4 and £5 enough? if they have to be brought from Elfkerby [Älvkarleby]– - we walked this morning lastly on the south side the river ought to have been on the opposite side where there is a shaded (avenue of largeish trees) broad (public?) walk stretching far down to the rivers’ mouth – considerably farther than we could well get thro’ the raff-yards – off from Geffle [Gävle] at 12 25/.. broad road but much cut up, and for the 1st ¾ hour the worst road we have travelled in Sweden – the post station changed 2 years ago to when it is now i.e. Öby pronounced (Ellb-beu)

over the door is written as follows in yellow letters on black board in a yellow frame (like a picture frame about 18x14in.)

31st March 2021 // Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel continued their digital meetings with representatives of the Executive Committees of various municipalities - this time Eksjö and Lomma in the south, Dals-Ed in the West, Vilhelmina in the North, Salem, Älvkarleby in the East, and Vingåker in Central Sweden - where they received an update on the local response to the pandemic. Since the start of the year they have made these unofficial calls to at least 90 municipalities, representing over 25% of Swedish residents

Wednesday 28 August 1839

[In this installment Anne drives much too fast and consequently has a spat with a postboy over her reckless undertaking! Pigs’ gourmand preferences, the relative merits of several types of firewood, and a nouveau riche’s lack of style are then discussed, and a very pretty village and impressive waterfall are admired by Anne and Ann. We also learn who gets a good deal of the profit from Dannemora mine and some of the things he does with the money.]

[up at] 6 50/”

[to bed at] 11 50/”

fine but dull Fahrenheit 61º at 7 a.m. all ready at 7 3/4 – breakfast at 8 – Suderby est 3/4 de mile d’ici – Mr. Tamm’s house called Ӧsterby, and the village also so called the house close upon the lake – See and buy plan of Rome – bought for the governor of Upsala for 10 rigs dollars off from Ӧsterby at 9 – comfortable there – bill 6 Dollars Banco and gave the woman 12 skillings

boy from Bro uncivil Rowe about my driving so fast – did the 1/2 mile 25 minutes so had to change here or were to have gone to the next station – by law must drive 1 mile in 1 1/2 hour* – nice drive to Bro – good farming and crops and land, and well inhabited for Sweden – Bro (pronounced Broo) a very small scattered hamlet

Nice foresty drive from Bro to Hokambo the station house and a cottage or 2 – one might perhaps sleep here if necessary – Scotch fir called Tall (pronounced Tahl) good for burning and ship building and charcoal – Spruce called Graun not good for burning – dangerous because flies off in sparks – Pigs very fond of the roots of brackens (orm graes, serpent grass) Preserve grapes in ant-hill stuff – our peasant rents of Mr. Tamm of arable land what will sow 6 tonneaus or sacks of corn – 1 tonneau = 500 to 600 ells square – and he had pasture that would keep 6 cows tho’ he has but 3 – he has 5 horses and 9 sheep – roads 8 or 9 feet wide – but at 2 1/4 get into wide road for a while – at 2 25/” enter gate into the very pretty of Löfsta – Count Jer, pronounced (Yare) the richest man in Sweden to whom 1/3 of the Dannemora mines belongs – large handsome 3 story high barn – forges shut nobody there – very pretty village and lake – avenue of good trees a sort of maple common everywhere here and ash and elm – neat, yellow-washed mortar-splashed cottages of the Count’s workmen good scattered village – then the brick chateau with pediment in front towards charged with the Count’s arms and supporters – pretty shrubby ground and gardens - hot-houses etc. large orange trees in tubs, and everything in good taste and style – much better than chez Tam who got his house and a great deal by his wife and bought a great deal himself – he and his son associated in the business and the son has what came by his mother – Löfsta with its chateau the prettiest nicest village and place we have seen in Sweden –

Here at Skerpling (pronounced Sherpling) at 3 37/” – pass several ant-hills in the forests today – like little haycocks perhaps 2 feet 6 inches high and as much in diameter at the bottom – very fine day – wrote while we change horses – fjord right – then foresty to (at 5 20/” ) picturesque village – good church scattered good little village – then forest – till at 6 35/” alight for 1/4 hour a little above the bridge and go down to the saw mill to see the fall of the Dal at the hamlet of Elfkerby – no fall at Trolhättan equal to it – but a place to see it from wanted – we scrambled for a point de vue from the end of the saw mill over the water goit – Charles xiii’s Bro and Charles John has diminished (lowered) the toll in 1816 – at Elfkerby at 7 11/” – single house – not large – had it looked tempting would have slept there and gone to breakfast tomorrow at Geffle – the town of Elfkerby with its church straggles in a long line along the East side of the river called East Elfkerby and what is on this side (a few scattered houses) called says our hobbletehoy horseman West Elfkerby – the fall and the scenery immediately around – the river – the town of Elfkerby – the surrounding woods etc. very fine bit of scenery – a drop or 2 of rain at the bridge toll-house but holds off – latterly darkish – at Geffle at 9 55/” no good doings –

Anne’s marginal notes:

Plan of Rome

Scotch fir

Löfsta

anthills

Fall of the Dal

Note on Anne’s speeding:

*The miles referred to here are Scandinavian miles: in 1839, one Scandinavian mile equalled 10.688 km. Anne’s account enables us to calculate that she was driving at the rate of 12.83 km/h (or about 8 English miles per hour), while the postboy, and the law, expected her to do 7.13 km/h (or 4.4 mph) between stations. If this seems rather on the slow side, later on Anne will tell us how much she enjoys travelling on Finnish roads because gates are infrequent, whereas in Sweden a gate tends to pop up in the road every half an English mile or so. Having to slow down and faff around with a gate this often would certainly tend to make for a low speed of travel, as would the narrowness of road - Anne seems to think 8 or 9 feet does not make for a wide road.

Lövsta Bruk, by Johan Fredrik Julin (1798-1843); the prettiest and nicest place Anne and Ann had yet seen in Sweden:
