We had reached the final destination of our initial journey. The tickets that we had bought at the beginning of our journey wouldn't take us any further. When our train had come to a halt in Green Bay a man entered our train car and inquired in a loud voice whether or not Niels Hemmingsen from Orup was a passenger on this train. I was quick to respond that I indeed was there. The man was Lars Nielsen who was an acquaintance of mine. He had been a millers assistant at the mill back in Orup. When we had arrived in Chicago I wrote a letter to Jørgen Andersen who worked in Caskade in Michigan. He had gotten the letter in good time and made it to Green Bay only a few hours before we arrived. He had then asked Lars Nielsen to come and meet us and just then and there Jørgen entered the train car from the other end and we were of course all delighted to see each other. That night we stayed at Lars Nielsen's place.
