Abstract: Abstract The spring semester at Stockholm College began in February 1891. Sonya’s first lecture was scheduled for Friday, February 6. From the sunny Riviera Gösta received a letter in which she wrote that she wished she could be there for Carnival, and she asked whether it would matter if she stayed another week. But she supplied her own answer by adding that it would probably be best if she returned to Stockholm on time, since she was thinking of asking for a leave of absence in April. In a letter to her daughter, Sonya described the roses and violets in the garden outside the veranda in Beaulieu, where the camellia trees were in bloom and the oranges were ripening. And in a letter to Ellen Key, Sonya wrote that would have liked to remain in the sunshine and warmth of the south; she was not looking forward to winter in the north.
