Karlstad

Between now and then? No, nothing special.

Just hung out in Karlstad.

Probably did something, maybe a little trip to Stockholm, maybe something like that.

This was before the wedding, though, so we were in Spain with the family before the wedding.

In the Second Chamber also some very bitter and immoderate speeches were delivered.

Mr. Hammarskjöld, a member of the present government and a delegate to the Karlstad Conference, violently attacked the government and the Royal Proposition.

He said that he and his colleagues had received the Royal Proposition with sorrow and resentment.

To them it seemed as if an approval of the proposition would mean to kiss the hand that had struck them with the clenched fist.

As Swedish delegates were appointed Mr. C. Lindeberg, the Prime Minister, Count Wachtmeister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. H. Hammerskjöld, and Mr. Carl Stoff, both members of the government.

As Norwegian delegates were appointed Mr. C. Michelsen Prime Minister, Mr. J. Lovland, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Carl Berner, President of the Storting, and Mr. Benjamin Vogt, Advocate and Member of the late Government.

The delegates met at Karlstad in Sweden on the 31st of August, this place having been selected as being about midway between both capitals and being also the town which is mentioned in the Act of Union as a meeting place for the two governments in case of a vacancy on the throne.

The negotiations which were now entered upon between the two governments were of a very difficult nature.
