Kæri ritstjóri Sólskins.

Eg er þér hjartanlega þakklát fyrir Sólskinið.

Mig langar að senda Sólskini þessa smásögu “Snjótitlingar”.

[…]

Með vinsemd og virðing.

Kristín litla sendi uppdrátt með þessu, en hann gat ekki komið. – Ritstj.

Leslie, Sask., February 25, 1916.

Dear editor of Sólskin.

I am deeply grateful to you for Sólskin.

I want to send Sólskin this short story “Snow buntings”.

[…]

With friendship and respect.

Kristín Bjóla, 12 years old.

Little Kristín sent a drawing with this, but it couldn’t be printed. – Ed.

Note: In addition to the short story “Snjótitlingar” (Engl. “Snow buntings”) and her drawing, Kristín’s letter was also accompanied by a short verse, “Skriftin mín” (Engl. “My writing”) which previously appeared in print, for example, in Lesbók handa börnum og unglingum (1907).
