After my trip as lover’s postman to Meppel in August 1907 I went from Deventer via Zutphen and Arnhem back home. In Zutohen I could come to the conclusion that Lotje was well housed with the cousins, at least she was cheerful and according to her own words “ very content”, a shame that this favourable situation only lasted a short time, because one fine day Betsy Kerlen came purpusely to the Hague to ask me to take Lotje as soon as possible away from her sisters because lately she was unmanageable and depressing to the nervous system of the three sisters. So Lotje came home again and we had to look for another board for her once again.
