A chapter in Gösta Mittag-Leffler, 2010, pp 45-51 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Gösta’s mother, Gustava Vilhelmina, was born on December 7, 1817, in Uppsala. She lived there for the first ten years of her life, in a pastor’s home furnished in the Empire style of the day and located in a building belonging to the cathedral. These first years seemed to have been marked by her father’s prosperity and success in both the scholarly and social spheres. Pastor Mittag was a gregarious man who, with his affable manner and a glint in his eye, felt at home everywhere and quickly became popular. Those who knew the family during that time said that Gustava was a particularly happy and lively girl, and that she had her father’s “brilliant temperament.” It was also said that Gustava had always had a good relationship with her father, and she was proud of his accomplishments. The learned Pastor Mittag took an interest in literature, and during the years in Uppsala he developed a close friendship with Sven Peter Leffler and his circle.
