A chapter in Gösta Mittag-Leffler, 2010, pp 129-132 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract On August 19, 1871, Gösta went back to Stockholm to rejoin his family at the summer house they had rented in the archipelago. The reunion with his father was nothing like what he had hoped. Gösta found his father “sadly very changed” physically, and in his diary he characterized Mr. Leffler’s mental state as “very disquieting.” Gösta played croquet with Anne Charlotte and Viktor, but he didn’t stay any longer than seemed absolutely necessary. On his way to Uppsala he stopped to visit the af Ugglas family at Lennartsnäs. The baron and his wife were even more welcoming than before, and he felt more at home in their luxurious way of life than previously. His reunion with Uppsala was also marked by propitious signs: Everything was beautiful and green, the air was fresh and clean, and his room seemed bright and pleasant.
