"It would greatly please me to learn that all of you who are in need and
have little chance of supporting yourselves and your families have
decided to leave Norway and come to America; for, even if many more
come, there will still be room here for all. Those who are willing to work will
not lack employment or business here." Gjert Hovland, letter to Torjuls
Maeland, April 22, 1835 What is the sentiment expressed in this passage?*
There is great fear for what will happen to those wishing to emigrate to the United
States.
O
Those wishing to emigrate should come now while there is still time.
O
Hope and promise await in a new land
Regret has fallen over those who have left their native country and become
immigrants in the United States.
