I shall never forget their friendship, and shall make use of every opportunity to shew them my appreciation of it.

Herr Edouard Gottschalk and Herr Knudson have also my best thanks.

I applied to the first of these gentlemen to procure me a passage to Iceland, and he was kind enough to use his interest with Herr Knudson on my behalf.
Herr Knudson is one of the first general dealers in Copenhagen, and carries on a larger and more extended commerce with Iceland than any other house trading thither.

He is already beginning to retire, as the continual journeys are becoming irksome to him; but he still owns a number of great and small vessels, which are partly employed in the fisheries, and partly in bringing all kinds of articles of consumption and luxury to the different harbours of Iceland.
He himself goes in one of his ships every year, and stays a few months in Iceland to settle his affairs there.

On the recommendation of Herr Gottschalk, Herr Knudson was kind enough to give me a passage in the ship in which he made the journey himself; a favour which I knew how to value.
It is certainly no small kindness to take a lady passenger on such a journey.
