Abstract

On June 28, 1922, Mittag-Leffler left Stockholm by boat to attend the Scandinavian mathematics congress in Helsingfors, the fifth in a row. As they passed Hangö, he stood at the ship’s rail, thinking about previous trips that he’d made with Signe. He realized that this time he could see no familiar faces on the dock. He went up to the bridge and stood there for a while with the captain who, to his joy, wanted to talk about the political situation in Finland and the rumors that Russian battleships and thousands of soldiers were ready to attack. Mittag-Leffler had brought along his new secretary Eva Theorell and physical therapist Gerda Blomberg, who was called simply Blomman. Upon arrival in Helsingfors, the presentation of his passport was sufficient to exempt all three from any sort of customs inspection, and they were allowed to go ashore with their 13 suitcases. There they were welcomed by Signe’s relatives and taken to the Borgström house at Mariegatan 7. Four servants were put at their disposal for the two weeks that they would spend there.
