To the Editor of the "Norra-Carxa Danny News."
Sir,—Mr. Gordius Nielsen in his letter published in Friday's issue of your esteemed paper shows an entire lack of understanding and knowledge of events in Denmark during the last year or two, but having formerly' seen his views about "Slesvig" aired in your esteemed paper it is not difficult to understand him.
